Kick Stress to the Curb
Most of us are feeling the impact of stress more now than ever before. Learning ways to manage stress will go a long way to improving your mental and emotional health. Start with watching this video from ALEX.
Use Your Tools
One of the best ways that you can improve your mental health is to use the tools
available to you. 
Thanks to your medical coverage, you have a variety of digital apps, online platforms, phone and text support, and even in-person counseling. Plus, ZOLL provides a free employee assistance program for all employees to access 24/7 confidential support that includes three face-to-face (or screen-to-screen) counseling sessions at no additional charge. Browse all the resources available to you.
If you or a loved one is experiencing a crisis, you can reach out to the National Suicide hotline number at 988. Remember, you are not alone.
Let Your Pets Help You through Ruff Times
Pets bring joy and companionship to our lives, but one thing that may be overlooked is how pets help us relieve stress. When you’re not feeling your best, spend some time with your pets for a boost! And remember that ZOLL offers Pet Insurance for when your pets aren’t feeling their best.
Care.com offers information and resources for you to take care of your pets too.
Go Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness
Did you know recent studies show that one in every nine women will be diagnosed with breast cancer? As the second most common type of cancer diagnosed among women, understanding the types of breast cancer and learning more about the risk factors can help you take steps to protect your health. ZOLL’s medical plans and behavioral health programs offer the support you need. Learn why a screening and mammogram are so important for early detection.
