Compassion & Resilience Education at Work
As concerns about mental health and substance use rise in the United States, many organizations want new or expanded education and resources for employee mental health and well-being. To help meet this need, Purdue Extension has an introductory educational curriculum on mental well-being specific to workplaces – Compassion & Resilience Education at Work or CREW.
The CREW Curriculum is adaptable for varied industries and organizations of all sizes. It can be delivered in person or virtually. CREW offers education and skill-building content related to three topics, available as standalone one-hour sessions or as a series:
- Work-Life Balance
- Stress Management
- Stigma Reduction
The target audience for CREW is frontline employees. A secondary target audience includes employers, managers, supervisors, and human resources personnel. CREW is professional development for current employees to address challenges they may experience in their work environment (rather than as training for those entering the workforce).
Connect with your local Extension Educator to discuss opportunities to bring the CREW Curriculum to your workplace. Find your local Extension Office at:
