Show us your green, post in the comments.

It's Mental Health Awareness Month! This year our theme is "More Good Days." How are you having more good days this month and beyond?

Schools are dismissing early today due to threats of severe weather. We thought now might be a good time to share some resources around how to best manage our weather related anxiety! Check out this article from Baylor University's College of Medicine.

National High Five Day is tomorrow - April 16th!

This holiday was created in 2002 by a group of university students to spread positivity and brighten people's day with a high five.

High fives in the workplace:
Boost morale
Encourage connection
Promote recognition
Improve mood
Create positive workplace culture

The options are endless: Create a free high five station, give out five high fives today, Teams chat high fives, etc.

Fun Facts:
The modern high five became popular in the late 1970s.
High fives are used worldwide across cultures.
Even a small positive interaction can improve mood for hours.

Does the end of February have you feeling a little bit like our old wellness buddy here? We know the feeling! It’s a tough season, but we thought a little (maybe too relatable) humor might help us through on this Friday!

Thanks to one of our amazing building social workers for submitting the photo, and remember that if this is how you’re feeling today, our well-being team is here for you!

On-site health screenings are underway here at Park Hill! These help to keep our employees healthy, safe and in control of their own health! If you haven’t had a chance to get screened by our wonderful team of nurses, come on by! Got questions? Check in with our staff well-being team!

It’s Heart Health Month! ❤️ Your heart works hard for you—return the favor with a walk, a stretch, a laugh, or a few deep breaths.

What’s one heart-healthy habit you’re focusing on this month?

This month's Staff Wellbeing Newsletter focused on relationships. The ones we have with others as well as the ones we have with ourselves. One way to deepen our relationship with ourselves is by learning our attachment style.

Attachment theory has gotten pretty popular lately. Enough so that many of us already identify with a particular attachment style. But do we actually know what that style means, where it comes from, or how it shows up in our everyday lives? If not, it might be time for a deep dive!

Attachment theory says that our earliest experiences with caregivers shape how we connect with others later on. The consistency (or inconsistency) of love and support we receive as children can influence how we show up as partners in adulthood; how we trust, communicate, and feel safe in healthy relationships, including the relationships we have with co-workers, bosses and even students. Understanding our own attachment patterns can be a really helpful tool for improving how we relate to the people we care about.

Curious where you might land on the attachment spectrum? Try this quiz from Psychology Today and use what you learn as a starting point for reflection or support.

Relationship Attachment Test A securely attached person finds it easy to trust others and is willing to depend on them. But someone who is insecurely attached may spend too much time worrying that a partner will abandon them, and have a hard time in the relationship. Take this test to see how securely attached you are.
