Register for Beyond the Workplace: Understanding Social Influence HERE.
This presentation explains how social media shapes behavior both personally and professionally. It highlights benefits like networking and collaboration, as well as risks such as stress, reduced productivity, and blurred boundaries. The session emphasizes generational differences in communication and offers practical tips for healthy communication, setting boundaries, and managing stress in a digital world.
This webinar is presented by Supportlinc EAP.
This talk will begin by briefly explaining what stress is and how it works from a physiological and behavioral perspective, including how the stress-response system becomes activated and sustained under ongoing demands. It will then explore why individuals often do not initiate stress-regulation behaviors in high-pressure situations, particularly when cognitive resources are limited.
The session will introduce the Passive Reset Path (PRP), an environment-based intervention designed to support real-time stress regulation in everyday work environments. Using principles from Nudge Theory and Affordance Theory, the presentation will demonstrate how environmental design can encourage brief, automatic stress-regulation behaviors—such as stretching and controlled breathing—without requiring conscious effort or decision-making.
The talk will include the design concept, practical applications in workplace settings, and a brief overview of evaluation approaches.

The session will also highlight how regular movement can boost energy, concentration, and problem solving at work.

Gathering in Grief is an ongoing, peer-supportive space inspired by the idea of “companioning” in grief—walking alongside others without trying to fix or solve. It offers an opportunity to connect with employees across all IU campuses who are navigating grief and to share space for stories, comfort, resources, and understanding. Above all, it serves as a reminder that grief is easier to carry when you’re not carrying it alone. This space welcomes anyone experiencing loss—whether through death, estrangement, separation, the ending of relationships, or the loss of animals or any other meaningful part of one’s life. When attendance is larger, self-selected breakout rooms on related themes will provide smaller, more comfortable spaces to share experiences, ask questions, and learn from others based on your experiences and needs.
You are welcome to register for one or both date options. If you are unable to meet either time, but are interested in being a part of this community, you can join IU Grief Support Community Microsoft Teams group here:

This workshop will explore the changes that occur during the perimenopausal transition, which often begin before periods stop and anything changes on testing, and impact health well beyond that time. This session will cover common experiences such as sleep disruption, changes in mood, energy, and focus, as well as less visible shifts like early bone loss. Participants will gain a clearer understanding of what’s happening across multiple systems in the body and leave with practical, evidence-based ways to recognize and support their health during this transition.
