How are you doing? How are you feeling?Normally we write to you with a quick answer to your questions. Today, we’re the ones with the question: how are you doing?
We'd like to know.
COVID, long hours in front of a computer screen, school work, family care responsibilities, having to learn new ways of doing our jobs, the events leading up to the inauguration, the ongoing examples of systemic racial injustices, limited opportunities to get together with friends (even during the holidays) — it’s a tough moment for everyone. That’s why we want you to know that NYU cares just as much about how you’re doing as we do about whether you’re wearing a mask or keeping proper physical distance.
So, if you’re feeling down or stressed, we’d like to help, if we can.
For students, the Wellness Exchange is there for you 24/7 — and they can help you, or connect you to other people at the University who can. And this semester, each week's email from the Office of Global Spiritual Life will feature a "Wellbeing Weekly" section where, in partnership with the Wellness Exchange, students can read about important wellness topics and be reminded of our available Wellness programs and services.
For faculty, administrators, and staff, the University's Employee Assistance Program through Optum is on call and available round the clock to assist. And the Office of Work Life has created a new Workplace Wellness page with resources for all employees, including guidance for managers on how to emphasize wellness among colleagues.
Look, especially in times like these, it is okay not to feel okay. But we want you to know, you don’t have to go through it alone. We’re here to help.
So, how are you doing?
