Q2 Well-being Theme: Mental Health
NRECA’s well-being focus for the second quarter centers on mental health, a vital component to a person’s overall well-being.
It’s important that cooperative employees have access to help for mental health needs they may be experiencing, whether anxiety, grief, depression, addiction or others.
The resources below are designed to support your employees’ mental health needs; share these at your co-op to educate them and bring awareness to what’s available through the NRECA Medical Plan.
