Holiday Stress
The holidays can be a very difficult time for many individuals and families. The University provides the services of CONCERN, an Employee Assistance Program that offers free confidential counseling and information services to you and your family members. CONCERN provides assistance in many areas, including grief, financial pressures, depression and anxiety, family/parenting issues, stress management, alcohol & drug problems, eating disorders, marital and relationship issues and self-esteem.
If you or an immediate family member is having difficulties, consider contacting CONCERN. Confidential telephone consultations are available by calling 1-800-242-7371.
Happy and Safe Holidays and Happy New Year!
