Postmarks would like to conclude National Safety Month by encouraging everyone not to minimalize a frequently-neglected element of maintaining good health: your inner safety.
For better or worse, your mental health affects every part of your life and the lives of those around you
Depression, anxiety, and mental illness are medical conditions that often require medical or clinical intervention, and to ignore symptoms in yourself or someone you love can often lead to tragic results.
If you or a family member are suffering inside, please talk to your physician, a counselor, or call the Employee Assistance Hotline (EAP). EAP is a free service provided to all USPS employees. The hotline is manned 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can also visit their website for information about emotional well-being, child care providers, veteran services, suicide prevention, money management, and much more.
Sometimes, things happen that can seem extremely hard to face or overcome. Most of us have been there at some point in our lives. Needing help is nothing to be embarrassed about: the shame is in needlessly suffering alone when treatment and relief are just a phone call away.
EAP Hotline: 1-800-EAP-4YOU or 1-800-327-7341
EAP TTY number: 1-877-492-7341
