UNG continues to take strides in promoting mental health awareness, which includes providing mental health training via QPR (Question, Persuade, Respond) and Mental Health First Aid for faculty and staff. To date, more than 250 faculty, staff, and students have been trained in Mental Health First Aid and more than 160 have been trained in QPR. QPR is 1.5 hour training session that provides simple steps to help save a life from suicide. Mental Health First Aid is an 8 -hour training including 2 hours self-paced and 6 hours offered via synchronous instructor-led training and teaches how to identify, understand, and respond to signs of mental health and substance use challenges among adults. Many faculty and staff want to learn more about how to support students as well as their own friends and family, but find it difficult to carve out the time for training during the regular academic year. The USG is providing multiple opportunities for QPR & Mental Health First Aid for all students, faculty, and staff over the next few weeks and the courses are FREE. Mental Health IS... A part of everyone Something to look after Real and complex Really important Something you can change ISN'T... A sign of weakness All in your head Something you can just snap out of Always a negative thing Something to be ashamed of Questions can be directed to MHITRAINING@USG.EDU.
June USG Well-being Preventive Care Month It’s essential to protect yourself by getting routine check-ups with your Primary Care Provider (PCP) and recommended preventive screenings and vaccines. As a bonus, with USG Well-being, you can earn points toward your well-being credit when you take certain actions. If you have any questions, please contact Sabrina Wall sabrina.wall@ung.edu or 678-717-3824 Join today to begin earning well-being credits
Biometric Screening: earn 10,000 points. A biometric screening is easy to check on essential health measures such as cholesterol, glucose, and blood pressure. Knowing your numbers is vital to getting you on the path to improving your well-being. If you could not attend an on-campus Wellness/Benefit Fair, you may still complete a biometric screening with your Primary Care Physician (PCP) to receive the well-being credit. Log into the USG Well-being platform with Virgin Pulse > navigate to the Programs page > change your view from Explore to View All from the top menu bar > find LabCorp Biometric Screenings > click #2 Visit your Primary Care Physician.

You must print this form, sign it, and take it to your primary care for completion. Instructions on returning the form to LabCorp are located on the same page under Form Submission Instructions. Health Assessment: earn 5,000 points. Employees and spouses may answer health assessment questions online or through your mobile device about your daily nutrition, exercise, sleep and general health habits, emotional state, and coping strategies. At the conclusion of your assessment, you will see your results and be able to measure the improvements to your well-being over time. My Care Checklist: earn 1,000 points for three screenings.
