Because of the child care subsidy I received, I was able to stay in school and work while making sure my three children had safe and high-quality care. I will be eternally grateful to U of I for allowing me the opportunity to receive my higher education degree while caring for my children. Thank you!

Emotional Well-being The UI Employee Assistance Program (UI EAP) focuses on providing services that will not only improve the emotional health and well-being of our campus community but will also potentially reduce the occurrence of problems that impact our emotional health. In addition to the services already provided to address stress, work-life balance, relationships and substance abuse, the EAP also provides a focus on the impact of sleep on one’s overall health and well-being.

SHUTi Sleep Program Research now confirms that sleep plays a very important part in managing our mood and health. Sleep also affects our work, and the lack of sleep poses not only organization risk but also organization costs associated with lost productivity, increased medical costs and absenteeism. SHUTi (Sleep Healthy Using the Internet) is a free, evidence-based treatment option for those struggling with sleep. The program has been well-received and is resulting in significant improvements in sleep for the 97 UI participants tracked below.

I cannot over-emphasize how helpful the program has been. I still have the best sleep I have ever had months after finishing the program. I recommend it to so many people!

Supporting Campus Change Resilience can be defined as the ability to effectively respond to challenges and move forward in a positive way.

Resilience in Action 12 Academic Advisors from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences came together in June 2016 to meet with a Health Coach for four sessions focused on resilience.

“This group was impressive as they delved into the topic of resilience as it applied to them personally and professionally. They were eager to discover new techniques for managing stress; they shared ideas and worked together to come up with solutions.”

“The resiliency group reminded me of all the different avenues to lean on during the times that I am overwhelmed, frustrated, or feel myself starting to get negative. I have great colleagues for support but the gentle reminder that I can change my mind and attitude and using quotes, music, and self-talk to take control is not only healthy for me, but is setting a great example for the hundreds of students I serve on this campus.”

– Denise Barnard, Senior Academic Advisor in Sociology and Wellness Ambassador

The Resilient Leader Now more than ever, leadership requires more complex and adaptive thinking to deal with often volatile and unpredictable organizational changes. Managing people is no longer enough, and leaders are critical pieces to a successful and resilient organization. In early 2016, content specific to Resilient Leadership was developed and includes a 90-minute on-site workshop and a four-minute video. Since launching, this information has been delivered to about 120 leaders in these various formats with more scheduled for the remainder of the year.

When polled:

86% indicated that their ability to effectively respond to challenges and move forward in a positive way has increased.

89% received ideas for sustaining personal resilience

The Resilient Leader was an outstanding presentation (and really great presenter).

The presentation made me think about being a better, happier person, manager, and worker. Thanks a bunch!
