EQ2 SUPPORT
Employee Wellness is partnering with the Lionheart Foundation to provide an “interactive training and support program for direct care staff working with youth at risk.” EQ2 offers guidance for social and emotional regulation. EQ2 users will build “emotional coaching” skills and learn strategies to support personal resiliency through the stresses of work and life.
EQ2 offers assistance via mobile app interaction and support group training. Currently, EQ2 is available to all Lakemary staff through the mobile app. Support group training is underway in select departments. As the program develops, support group trainings will become available to all Lakemary staff.

care tickets
Wellness constitutes a broad range of needs that are sometimes difficult to assist through a conventional wellness program. We hope that Care Tickets can help to fill this gap. When faced with significant personal life events, we want to be there to offer and facilitate support. If you or someone you work with is experiencing a life change, let us know by submitting a ticket! We will assess the need and plan ways to support the individual. Examples of events we might support include weddings, funerals, births, major illnesses and natural disaster/loss. Submit a ticket to employeerelations.support@lakemary.org.
For additional questions, contact Grace Davis at grace.davis@lakemary.org.
