May 2026: Mental Health Awareness Month
At WVU, we recognize that mental health is essential to overall wellness and plays a crucial role in our ability to thrive personally and professionally. This month we're highlighting the various benefits and resources available as part of your total rewards package to support you when you need it most. Whether you're seeking support for managing stress, accessing counseling services, or participating in wellness programs, we encourage you to explore these resources and take an active step toward your well-being.
- Connect with support resources. The Faculty and Staff Assistance Program (FSAP) provides a confidential and safe environment to discuss issues and receive resource recommendations. Each employee or dependent may schedule up to three visits with an FSAP counselor per year, free of charge.
- Participate in a wellness program or class. Through a partnership with WVU Medicine, WVU faculty and staff are welcome to participate in a variety of Wellness Programs and Classes. Be sure to check out the 100 Miles in 100 Days program before registration closes May 29.
- Rest and recharge. Summer is a common time to step away from work to recharge, refresh, and maintain a healthy work-life balance. WVU proudly offers a comprehensive leave program for leave-eligible employees. We encourage you to check your leave balance in Applaud and coordinate with your supervisor when scheduling leave. As a reminder, any unused floating holiday hours will expire on June 30.
