Mental Wellness

Better Me helps RIT employees improve their happiness through awareness and acceptance of their feelings, recognizing limitations, and coping effectively with life’s challenges. Better Me offers this support through the workshop series and RIT’s Employee Assistance Program.

Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

RIT's EAP is available to employees, their spouses or partners, and dependents up to the age of 26. The program provides confidential, personalized guidance for issues, including emotional challenges, family concerns, legal and financial challenges, health insurance questions, and wellness coaching. Counseling support is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
