Massachusetts ranks first in the nation for children’s well-being , according to the 2022 Kids Count Data Book from the Annie E. Casey Foundation . Experts gave the Bay State high marks for combating poverty and boosting educational achievement.

To many employers, the value of an employee assistance program (EAP) is based on the understanding that employees with unresolved mental health , substance use and emotional wellbeing concerns often have troubles in their professional and personal lives that ultimately impact the organization’s bottom line. Historically, EAPs and other workplace mental health providers have used a variety of metrics to illustrate their ability to resolve or mitigate these concerns, such as employee utilization, referrals to external resources, satisfaction surveys or website usage. While these measurements are effective and valuable tools that help employers evaluate the reach of the program, they don’t truly measure the impact of the program on employee health, wellbeing and productivity. New research published in the International Journal of Scientific and Research Publications (Volume 12, Issue 8, August 2022) reinforces how CuraLinc’s unique approach to workplace mental health drives meanin...

Life can be tough at times. This is why rewarding yourself for overcoming life challenges is essential. However, treating yourself does not have to involve large amounts of money. Little gestures or rewards mean a lot more than you would think. No matter how nice it would be to splurge some money on a new bag, it is important to think of alternative ways of treating yourself. Apparently, treating yourself too much can make you feel worse – both physically and emotionally. If you don’t want to break the bank and be able to enjoy your little treat, you could think of little rewards that don’t cost a fortune. Even the little act of purchasing new socks can make a great difference to your sense of contentment. Rather than purchasing impractical gifts, you could make life more enjoyable by spending less money on treats that make you happy at that moment. Make Yourself Breakfast in Bed There is something special about room service that makes you feel important, and that is definitely the ...
