MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES

It has been almost a year and a half since CUNY faculty and staff received the sudden mandate to work remotely.  Since then, we have learned new ways of adjusting, prioritizing, compromising, and stressing, yielding an overwhelming strain on our mental wellness.  Working remotely has brought challenges in areas of productivity, engagement, communication, physical capability and other daily functions.  Here are a few tips that can help you manage some of these challenges:

  • Be sure to prioritize your time in taking care of yourself – emotionally, mentally, and physically. However difficult, it is imperative to have a well-balanced diet, drink plenty of water, engage in regular physical activity, and getting enough sleep.
  • Create “to-do” lists to help you stay organized.  This helps reduce the risk of forgetting to get things done.
  • Digital Mental Health Resources Flyer
  • NY.gov Mental Health tips  and other public resources.
  • NYC Well is available to all New Yorkers to listen and help with problems like stress, depression, anxiety, or drug and alcohol use for you or someone you care for. NYC Well is your connection to free, confidential mental health support. Speak to a counselor in more than 200 languages anytime via phone, text, or chat. Text ‘WELL’ to 65173, or call 1-888-NYC-WELL
