As we observe Mental Health Awareness Month, it serves as a reminder that taking care of our mental and emotional health is just as important as caring for our physical health. Daily responsibilities, workplace demands, and personal stressors can sometimes feel overwhelming, but even small acts of self-care, connection, rest, and mindfulness can positively impact overall well-being.  Remember, seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness.  Take time this month to check in with yourself and others because your well-being matters.  </description><author>Employee Assistance Program</author><image><img xmlns:ouc="http://omniupdate.com/XSL/Variables" src="/news-events/downstate-update/2026/may/_images/may-2026-frontline-newsletter-1.jpg" alt="Frontline Employee Newsletter"/></image><loc>/var/staging/oucampus/suny-downstate/downstate/news-events/downstate-update/2026/may/05-08-wellness-daily-to-do.xml</loc><tags><tag>Employee Assistance Program</tag><tag>Wellness</tag></tags><categories/></item>
