Fostering healthy ties
Good habits for financial freedom
If you decided to save more money this year, you’ve made the most popular New Year's resolution. For good reason: Minimizing financial stress is good for its own sake, and for your mental and physical well-being too.
New year, new you
Joy to the world — and to yourself
The holidays are an opportunity to reconnect and celebrate with family and friends, but they can also cause social, emotional and financial stress. So it’s important to take time for yourself and approach the holidays in a way that will preserve your own mental well-being. Luckily, many holiday traditions naturally support wellness!
Coping with grief
For those coping with grief, the shift from fall to winter can be especially hard, as the holiday season lies ahead and our thoughts turn to people, things and experiences that are missing. Mental health professionals with the UFT's Member Assistance Program offer coping strategies.
Gratitude is good for you
Counting your blessings isn’t just a nice thing your elders probably advised you to do. It’s also a key practice for both mental and physical health.
