As part of the many activities and initiatives recognizing May’s Mental Health Awareness Month, all Texas Children’s team members will receive a mental health wellness kit delivered directly to their homes. The kit includes multiple items to thank our One Amazing Team and to remind them on the importance of self-care.
“Recognizing that strong mental health and well-being encompasses self-care and a supportive environment, these kits are a small, fun way to celebrate your mental health and care for yourself as you care for others,” said Suzy Harrington, our new assistant vice president of workforce well-being, Human Resources. “Please don’t forget to complete the quick mental health survey so we can assess how to best meet the mental health needs of our One Amazing Team.”
The kit offers information on resources available to team members for care and support. The products are intended to remind us of a few ways to improve our mental health.
