The University offers a wide array of work and life benefits for those struggling to develop a new normal in their work life, but resources extend beyond the human resources website. Physical and spiritual exercise is also good for the mind and soul, and companionship doesn't hurt either. 

Employee Assistant Program (Lifeworks): Employees have access to an employee assistance program through LifeWorks for anyone dealing with a variety of personal and family challenges. Learn more at hr.nd.edu or by calling LifeWorks at 1-888-267-8126.

Human Resources Consultants: HRCs can help employees who might have any questions about returning to campus. 

Campus Ministry: There are staff and faculty chaplains who can meet with anyone who is grieving, struggling or experiencing personal, family, work or other issues. Chaplains serve faculty and staff of all faiths.

RecSports: There are fitness classes, gym space and personal trainers available to faculty and staff through RecSports.
