Safety, Health, and Wellness

  • Opioid Epidemic Education and Resources

     

    The opioid epidemic has, and continues to impact many of us. The increased misuse of opioids in Connecticut has turned it into a major public health concern.  Connecticut is among the top 10 states with the highest rate of opioid-related overdose deaths in the United States.    Opioid information and resources are now available via either the Human Resources or Work/Life website.

    UConn Human Resources strives to assist our employees and their families live long and healthy lives through wellness education, resources and programs.   Perception Programs will lead an Opioid Education and Resources session on Tuesday, October 22nd starting at 1pm in the Student Union Room 304A.  Please register for the session via https://hr.uconn.edu/perception/.

    Please visit the Work/Life website for information on other events in October associated with National Work & Family Month.
