Health and Wellness.
To promote BU’s culture of wellness, the school provides opportunities to support staff in taking care of one’s mental, physical, and emotional well-being. This includes a dedicated staff person whose position it is to promote wellbeing throughout BUSPH to the staff, faculty, and students.
BUSPH wellness offerings change weekly and range from yoga classes, meditations, and progressive muscle relaxation workshops to essential oil workshops and intuitive eating – open to all. The Assistant Director for Engagement holds regular office hours to discuss self-care strategies and is available as a resource for finding the support necessary.
BUSPH community members have access to an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) through Corporate Counseling Associates (CCA@YourService). This EAP is offered at no cost to benefit-eligible colleagues. CCA@YourService is an individualized resource for providing confidential, practical, around-the-clock information and assistance ranging from mental health, emotional health, and wellness support to work-life services like childcare, eldercare, financial or legal help, certified life coaching, and behavioral change tools through various pathways of care—in person, telehealth, phone, chat, and self-directed digital platforms. CCA@YourService can even help with personalized consumer resources and referrals like pet care, home improvement, budgeting, and travel.
Please note that Corporate Counseling Associates benefits are confidential; names and other identifying information are not reported back to the University or SPH.
