Are you looking for more mental health resources? Would you like to find ways to eat healthier and be more active, get your blood pressure checked, and hang out with Griff II?

This is all included in the “wellness” portion of this Friday’s Benefits & Wellness Fair.

• Employee & Family Resources (EFR) will be on-hand to share their mental health resources. In addition to counseling, EFR offers financial and legal consulting, eldercare and childcare resources, and life coaching.
• Samantha Matt, our on-campus dietitian, will answer your nutrition questions. She will also be facilitating a Gut Health BUILD class on Tuesday, Nov. 14, from 2–3 p.m. in Olmsted CR 310/311. Take advantage of both opportunities.
• Students from the Drake Athletic Training Club will offer free blood pressure checks. It is always good to know this number.  There will also be students from the Kinesiology capstone class on-hand to discuss the connection between physical activity and mental health, and how physical activity can help reduce your chances of getting a cold or the flu this season.
• And, we will have staff from Recreational Services ready to share information on upcoming Group X classes, and much more.

Griff II will make an early appearance so don’t be late. The annual Benefits & Wellness Fair will be held this Friday, Nov. 3, from 9–11:30 a.m. in Levitt Hall, in Old Main.
