Auburn University offers multiple resources to employees and their dependents to help sustain and enhance their physical, psychological, and emotional health. The website, thrive!, features many of these resources. A couple of examples are featured below.
Uprise
Employees are encouraged to check out the content from Uprise, our employee assistance provider. The Uprise website includes articles, videos, and special webinars on a variety of topics. For example, the webinar for August focused on “Engaging Empathy in the Workplace.” Other scheduled webinars include:
- September – “Involvement and Engagement”
- October – “Master Your Spending”
- November – “Supporting a Loved One with Substance Misuse”
- December – “Relaxation Rx”

- HW501E - How to Support a Grieving Co-worker
- HW502E - Grieving the Death of a Co-worker
- HW503E - Grieving the Loss of a Pet
These courses can be accessed through ElevatED, Auburn’s employee education center.
