Dear GW Community,
As we step into the vibrant days of June, it's the perfect time to embrace the energy of summer and refocus on our well-being. This month is rich with national observances that remind us to care for ourselves and each other in meaningful ways. Throughout the month we invite you to explore ways to reflect and celebrate Pride, Juneteenth, and Men's Health.
Additionally, in this GWell edition, we provide strategies for keeping your online personal information and accounts safe, offer new tools through the GW EAP to conquer financial and work-life challenges, promote the Legal Resources new financial planning enhancement, and share how you can reserve space for well-being. Don't forget to check out information regarding our upcoming events, reminders, and opportunities to connect 1:1 with our benefit vendor partners.

June is Men's Health Month — a time to raise awareness about the unique health challenges men face and to encourage proactive, preventive care.

Join Progyny and industry experts for an insightful on demand webinar exploring the role of male fertility in family building, common misconceptions, and insights into how both partners can be supported on their path to parenthood.
