Support well-being with these tools for connection and mental health

Emory’s commitment to supporting employees includes providing a variety of resources to help faculty and staff stay connected, collaborate effectively and prioritize mental well-being. 

This summer, take time to explore those resources, set personal goals and prioritize what helps you feel your best — whether that’s rest, learning, connection or support.

Building relationships at work and beyond

Healthy relationships at work are a key part of overall well-being. Through the Healthy Emory Career and Learning Series, complete at least 90 minutes of learning for an opportunity to earn a medical plan well-being incentive or reward. Completion of the series requires courses on topics including navigating change, self-care and managing difficult conversations. Additional learning opportunities in areas such as emotional intelligence, relationship management and networking allow employees to develop further skills that enhance both personal and professional connections.

These learning opportunities are open to both Emory Healthcare and Emory University employees:

• Emory Healthcare employees complete learning through LinkedIn Learning.
• Emory University employees complete learning through Brainier. 

 Emory University and Emory Healthcare both also offer Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) as another key avenue for connection. Employees are encouraged to explore and join ERGs aligned with their interests or identities. While many groups host fewer events during July and August, joining now can help employees get connected ahead of increased programming in the fall. More information on Emory Healthcare ERGs and Emory University ERGs is available online. 

Volunteer opportunities are another great way to build connections beyond your day-to-day work. Through Emory Open, you can explore meaningful ways to give back, connect with colleagues and the community, and, in some cases, earn medical plan well-being incentives for participation. All qualifying events will include “HE Rewardable Activity” in the title. For questions on whether your event qualifies, please email HealthyEmory@emory.edu. 

Supporting mental health and access to care

Social well-being and mental health go hand in hand, and Emory offers several resources to help with both. 

Throughout July, the Revive & Thrive program provides offerings for Emory Healthcare employees to support connection and overall well-being. In addition, mental health resources are available through Revive & Thrive and the EmBRACE Peer Support program.

Emory University employees can access support through the Faculty Staff Assistance Program (FSAP), including a webinar on healthy relationships that addresses both personal and professional dynamics.

Advancing a culture of well-being

Emory Healthcare has been recognized as a 2026 Wellbeing First Champion by the Dr. Lorna Breen Heroes’ Foundation, reflecting a significant step forward in advancing mental health support for clinicians.

This national recognition highlights Emory’s work to review and update provider credentialing processes by removing intrusive and stigmatizing mental health questions that can discourage clinicians from seeking care. By addressing these barriers, Emory is helping create a safer, more supportive environment, making it easier for healthcare professionals to access the care they need.

This achievement reinforces Emory’s broader commitment to reducing stigma, improving access to mental health resources, and fostering a culture of well-being and belonging across One Emory.
