Reach Out for Wellness Toolkit
Providing disaster assistance and help to friends, family members or to those in your community can be tiring and draining. The long hours, the interruption of daily routine, and the impact of trauma can be overwhelming and lead to burnout. As Extension employees it is important that we take time for our mental wellness so that we can continue to serve clients, communities, and the greater Extension system. The Reach Out for Wellness is an online toolkit designed to support the mental health needs of Extension professionals following disasters. A disaster recovery self-assessment and a free five module course are a part of the toolkit to help you understand your wellness, learn strategies to improve it and seek help from your support system.
