Wellness Spotlight
October 2026
During National Depression and Mental Health Screening Month, let's remember that depression is more than a feeling sad and it can manifest in many ways.
Recognizing the signs and reaching out for support can be an important first step.
- Consider using a trusted self-screening tool to learn more about how you’ve been feeling. A screening isn’t a diagnosis, but it can help you decide whether it’s time to reach out for support.
- Start the conversation. If you’ve noticed changes in your mood, sleep, energy, or interest in things you usually enjoy, talk with a family member or friend. You don’t have to have all the right words—simply saying “I haven’t been feeling like myself lately” can be a place to start.
- Reach out for professional support. A mental health counselor can provide a safe, supportive space to talk through what you’re experiencing and explore options for care.
Call or text 988 to connect with the National Crisis Lifeline (U.S. and Canada).
If you’re safety is at risk, call 911.
This Month’s Well-Being Tips
Nurturing Your Social Well-Being
Spending time with people we care about can lift our spirits. Small moments of connection can significantly improve our mood, resilience, and well-being. Consider making time to:
- Reach out: Call, text or spend time with others regularly.
- Get involved: Join a group, class or volunteer activity.
- Be present: Listen fully and limit distractions.
- Offer assistance: Build stronger bonds by helping others.
Need motivation or guidance? An EAP Wellbeing Coach can help you identify your strengths, clarify your goals, and develop an action plan for everyday challenges.*
