Just a few days remain to take the mental health survey

From: Hokie Wellness

Employees have just a few days to take the national mental health survey. The survey closes Monday, April 18.

All employees with a Virginia Tech email account received an email from healthyminds-VirginiaTech@umich.edu inviting them to complete the survey. The email contains a link to the survey, which will take approximately 15 minutes to complete.

Employees who complete the survey by April 18 will be entered into a drawing for an iPad. The winner will be selected and contacted in April, following the close of the survey. (The winner will be taxed for the value of the prize.)

The Healthy Minds Study is designed to understand the mental health and well-being of campus employees, their perceptions of the school environment, and their experiences supporting students in distress.

Your responses help improve understanding of how campuses can better support faculty, staff, and students nationally and at Virginia Tech. It will help inform decisions Virginia Tech makes about resources it provides for employees. At the end of the survey, all respondents will receive a list of local mental health resources.

Responses are confidential and protected. Names and identifiers are removed, and only aggregated data will be reported. Information on the survey will be provided to supervisors and managers for employees who have limited access to computers.

This is a great opportunity for employees to share their perceptions and provide valuable feedback. If you have questions about the survey, contact the Hokie Wellness team at 540-231-8878 or hokiewellness@vt.edu.
