SchoolCare was founded in 1995 as the New Hampshire School Health Care Coalition by bringing together associations representing public entity management and labor groups in the state. The Coalition was formed in response to issues of providing employee health care, including quality, choice, cost control and service that public entities were facing. Today, over twenty-five years later, SchoolCare is still a well-regarded resource for public entities facing these same issues.

Building resilience to overcome change
Published September 1, 2020
Experiencing rapid change, feeling at risk, and disrupted routines are all factors that can cause emotional stress. When facing the prospect of returning to work, these uncertainties can become overwhelming. You may feel anxious, tired, and frustrated. It’s during these times that focusing on your mental well-being is just as important as your physical health. When it comes to managing emotional stress, resiliency is a great building block.
How to practice resilience:
Resiliency is about accepting change, staying hopeful and seeking new solutions. If you aren’t sure where to start, here are some recommended strategies to focus on:
- Stay in the moment
- Focus on factors you can control
- Set small realistic goals
- Take it day by day
- Offer help to others
- Sleep well
- Eat healthy foods
- Exercise
Start by choosing one starting point to make a habit, such as eating healthy or staying in the moment. Then explore the many Good For You! Wellness programs available to help you continue with whatever goal fits your needs.
Your Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is here to help:
Sometimes practicing resilience isn’t easy. You have access to free home/life resources through your Cigna EAP program. Simply log into your myCigna.com account under Coverage to locate helpful well-being services such as:
