September 2026 Work-Life and Well-Being Bulletin
The start of a new semester often brings new routines, new goals, and renewed opportunities to focus on well-being. As we move into the second half of the year, please help us promote the attached September Well-Being Bulletin by sharing it within your departments and units.
Highlights this month include:
- Suicide Prevention Month programming and the Josh Rivedal keynote event – From Impossible to Possible.
- Financial, nutrition, emotional, and work-life and well-being opportunities.
- The Work-Life and Well-Being Virtual Fair
- New Becoming Wildly Resilient resources:
- Practice: Small shifts, meaningful change
- Meditation: A mid-year reset for mind, body and life
Thank you for helping us increase awareness of these opportunities and connect more employees with the resources available to support their well-being.
