Office of Mental Health - May Wellness Groups & Breath-Body-Mind Calendar

[Human Resource & Payroll Services]

*SENT ON BEHALF OF THE OFFICE OF MENTAL HEALTH*


The Office of Mental Health offers all employees an opportunity to practice
various coping skills and strengthen their resilience through OMH Wellness
Groups, which aligns with OMH’s vision of supporting a healthy workplace
environment. The groups

 include deep breathing and simulation exercises to allow employees to
practice rather than have group discussions. Group sessions offer a warm,
inviting space that fosters relaxation virtually and provides
examples of calming techniques and basic coping skills. Remember that the
mind and body are one, and psychological health is just as important as
physical health to your overall well-being.  Please click on the calendar

practices to accommodate the addition of more sessions.



The group sessions are free, confidential, anonymous, and virtual employees
can call in from any phone. Group sessions include Monday Meditation,
Mindful Mondays, Taking Care of Mind & Body, Tending to Self, and Wellness
Break.  If the wellness group is occurring during your work hours, please
make sure that your supervisor is aware of your attendance and that you are
following the time recording policies of your agency.
