WellNYS Daily To-Do and Frontline Newsletter for August
By Employee Assistance Program | Aug 5, 2025
National Wellness Month: This August, we celebrate National Wellness Month. It is time to focus on self-care, managing stress, and building healthy routines. It is also the perfect opportunity to check in with yourself, prioritize your well-being, and explore new ways to stay physically, mentally, and emotionally balanced. Whether it’s through daily movement, healthy eating, mindfulness, or simply taking breaks throughout your day, small intentional actions can make a big impact. Your wellness matters!!!!! And it's not just for your own health, but for how you show up in your work and personal life. Take a moment this month to explore the resources shared in the August Frontline Newsletter and reach out to the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for support, guidance, or just a listening ear. Let us take steps together toward a healthier, more resilient you!
