As we begin Mental Health Month, Balanced You reminds King County employees of the many resources available to support you and your loved ones.

• Making Life Easier (MLE): Free crisis or short-term counseling, daily living support, and online tools for managing stress, available to employees and household members.

• Mindfulness classes and videos: Resources you can join from anywhere for a reset or a moment of calm.

• Mental Health First Aid: Training to help employees recognize when coworkers may need support and respond with confidence.

• Insurance-based mental health providers: Long-term counseling and psychiatric care available through your health plan.

• Movement resources: Activity Centers, exercise classes, and gym discounts to make stress-reducing movement more accessible.
