Faculty and Staff Assistance Program offers walk and talk sessions

extension walking program

Walk and talk counseling/therapy sessions steeply increased during the COVID pandemic for obvious safety reasons; however, mental health providers recognize the benefits of sustaining this format as an option for those who prefer it.

FSAP Walk and Talk sessions incorporate free, confidential employee counseling sessions into an outdoor format where you and your provider can use the rhythmic movement and connection with nature to cultivate a deeper connection between mind and body.

Walk and talk sessions provide a relaxed opportunity for staff and faculty to step away from their desk and enjoy the fresh air while combining the benefits of physical activity and mental health, such as reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression, improving mood and promoting a sense of well-being and relaxation.

Join us for a refreshing walk and bring your comfortable walking shoes.
