Coping with political stress

While voting is an essential part of civic engagement, politics can also be a source of stress in our lives at home and work.

Campus Health's Counseling & Psych Services has created the Coping with Political Stress page, where members of the campus community will find practical coping strategies, such as managing stress, setting boundaries, and finding balanced ways to stay informed or involved.

Life & Work Connections provides Employee Assistance Counseling to benefits-eligible employees, their dependents and members of their households through ComPsych, a global provider of employee assistance programs.

Employees can access 12 counseling sessions per person, per issue, per year. Appointments are available in person, by phone or through video chat. Services and translators are available in multiple languages.
