TELUS Health April Features: Coping With Grief and Loss

April 8, 2025Posted in: Faculty/Staff

This month, TELUS Health, Illinois Tech’s Employee Assistance Program, is focusing on coping with grief and loss through resilience and healing. We are invited to pause and reflect on the interconnected aspects of wellbeing—from neurodiversity awareness to workplace safety and managing grief. Most of us will experience grief and loss at some point in our lives. Resources this month offer guidance on managing grief or supporting someone during a difficult time of loss.

Check out some of the featured resources for this month (link for access information is below):

Monthly webinars (link for access information is below)

  • Orientation for individual contributors: April 9th at 1 PM EST, Register: Link Here
  • Orientation for managers: April 23rd at 1 PM EST, Register: Link Here
  • Understanding Loss and Moving Beyond (available on-demand for the first two weeks of the month – login required): The more you know about how to survive and rebuild after a loss in your life, the faster you can take positive action to get your personal and professional lives back on track. Participants will gain insight into effective and proactive healing and rebuilding strategies and learn how to work through the changes caused by loss in order to move forward.
