The Office of Mental Health offers all employees an opportunity to practice various coping skills and strengthen their resilience through OMH Wellness Groups, which aligns with OMH’s vision of supporting a healthy workplace environment. The groups include deep breathing and simulation exercises to allow employees to practice rather than have group discussions. Group sessions offer a warm, inviting space that fosters relaxation virtually and provides examples of calming techniques and basic coping skills. Remember that the mind and body are one, and psychological health is just as important as physical health to your overall well-being.

No matter where you are in life—just getting started or planning for retirement—a session with Darryl Fiasconaro can help
you create a plan for your goals. And, it’s at no additional cost as a part of your retirement plan. You’ll get answers to
these questions and more:

• Am I invested in the right mix of investments to help meet my goals?
• Am I saving enough to create the retirement income I need?
• How do I take income from my retirement account once I stop working?

TIAA will be available on Tuesday, October 8, 2024, and Thursday, November 21, 2024, from 9 am to 5 pm  for one-on-one sessions in 207 Marano Campus Center.
