Work and Family Month

During October 2024, the Office of Resource Services (ORS) and Office of Human Resources (OHR) will showcase resources available in "Creating a Healthy Relationship Between Work, Family, and Life Responsibilities." Regardless of whether you are a federal employee, trainee/fellow, or contractor, there are many services available to help support YOU!

We will be providing a robust calendar of offerings highlighting the five areas of well-being: Social/Family, Mental/Physical, Financial/Community, and Career/Purpose.

Resources are available in many formats: live and archived webinars, fitness classes, resource links, vignettes for viewing when you have time, and much more.

Check out our NEW "Meet and Greet Videos" to become familiar with work, family and life resources available to the NIH Community.

Please share this webpage with colleagues, co-workers, and contractors. The website can be accessed by any computer or iPhone/Android.

Below are the themes for each week:

Week 1 Theme: Meet and Greet Videos

Week 2 Theme: Social and Family

Week 3 Theme: Mental/Physical

Week 4 Theme: Financial/Community

Week 5 Theme: Career/Purpose

If you think a resource should be included or have any questions, please contact Child and Family Programs, Susan Borst at susan.borst@nih.gov or DeAnna Knox at deanna.knox@nih.gov.
