Employee Wellness Resources
RSD's Staff Wellness Committee
Did you know that RSD has a staff wellness committee made up of employee representatives from across the district and from different buildings/departments?
We do! Our charge as a committee is to provide access and input into resources and activities that center employee wellness and share them with RSD employees. The committee was formed as part of a statewide initiative aimed at supporting educators who experience Secondary Traumatic Stress (STS).
Below you can find regularly updated resources that you can access for free.
Happy Summer!
We hope you are using this time to recharge after the school year! Though we're on break, we still have many resources for you to access this summer:
