TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF
Apprehension and uneasiness may grow with concerns about future events, about your personal safety and security, about the welfare of loved ones in the event of an emergency, or about the availability of helping resources for your individual needs. Layered resources are in place to provide you with helpful coping strategies or with the reassurance and personal advice and counsel you may need.
- For students living on campus, your immediate friends may be the first people with whom you want to talk about your concerns. You are also encouraged to talk to the housemaster and resident assistants or the Chaplains in W11. You also have access to the network of offices and individuals who work closely with students. These include counselors and staff in the Student Life areas and professionals in the Medical services.
- Employees are encouraged to use similar networks of personal contacts and in-place resources. These include the ombudspersons, the personal assistance program in the Medical Department, and staff in the Human Resources Office.
- Stress management activities and strategies can be an adjunctive resource for individuals with heightened anxiety. These include exercise and other focused activity, attention to daily routines and schedules, and strengthening your interpersonal interactions with family and friends.
There is a rich array of resources available to anyone at MIT who needs some assistance in coping with rising anxieties. Consult the Campus Resources section for lists and descriptions of helpful offices across the Institute.
