WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW TODAY?

In the meantime, take a look at the UW-Madison Furlough frequently asked questions; more information on the furlough policy is also available on this knowledgebase entry.

TAKE A DEEP BREATH
Studies have shown that just a few minutes of mindful meditation each day reduces stress and anxiety, improves memory and decision making skills, cultivates positive interpersonal relationships, and has multiple health benefits. There are tons of mindfulness and meditation resources collected on the UW Ob-Gyn Wellness Resources page, including the UW-Madison Healthy Minds Program, a guided relaxation by Dr. Julianne Zweifel, and so much more!
Find more resources to support mental and physical resilience on the UW Ob-Gyn Wellness Committee resources page.
