Wish our insurance covered counseling. I think it would be cool to also do 'wellness' days every now and then whether it be guided meditation or some kind of mini workshop to help us prioritize our well beings in healthy ways

We used to have a principal’s secretary who had connections with several masseuse locations. She would have some come over to campus maybe twice a year and give free 15 minute back and/or neck massages. It was fantastic if you could get one! They weren’t there the whole day, but the second visit would be the other half of the day.

Massages, yoga, meditation/ prayer room. Anything that promotes wellness and self care. Or if they just acted like we needed to take care of ourselves, that it was vital that we were well taken care of.
Also, good old fashion morale building activities.

Hi All, just sharing what on mind to vent it out from my system. Maybe with this I could gain some insights and inspiration.
I have been working as a data scientist since 2018 & have been the bread winner. I have neither been under a proper mentor nor with a team of peers from my field to help me out. I was alone and confused. I have never really got the chance to prove myself which makes me all the more depressed. I'm not sure what to do with my future, indecisive and low on confidence.

I am on a stress leave. Every time I look at emails from work, the less encouraged I am to return. It is so overwhelming! I want to finish out the year, but will definitely not be making it back next year. So many things have changed, and next year there will be all kinds of change and turmoil. I am sad to be leaving on such a low note. I always envisioned retiring at the top of my game, having a party...etc...
