Good Day NMC Employees,
We here at NMC are here to support you through this difficult time of losing our friend and colleague Kari Kahler and want to offer a reminder about Ulliance Life Advisor EAP services (800-448-8326). These services are free to you to use as needed and completely confidential. You can call 24/7 to set up an appointment with a counselor or coach.
In addition, we are arranging a grief group this week (Friday, Aug. 18 at 1–2 p.m. in TJNIC 106/107) with Ulliance and we hope that you are able to attend. Please add the date/time/location to your calendar. A Masters Level Clinician will conduct a critical incident stress debriefing on site and offer 1:1 support following the group. If you would like to meet with Megan from Ulliance after the group meeting please reply to this email (including myself only) and she will work on scheduling time with you between 2–5 p.m. Let me know the window of time that you are available and I will get back to you with your scheduled time.
Please review as needed the following PDF materials sent to us by Ulliance on grief and let us know if you need extra support.
- Coping with Grief during Challenging Times
- What We Need During Grief
- Dealing with Difficult Emotions
- Taking A Mindful Break
Please share this information with any other employees that might benefit from this opportunity if they did not receive it.
Sincerely,
Hollie
