Does the institution have an employee assistance or wellness program that provides counseling, referral, and well-being services to employees?:
A brief description of the employee wellness program, policy, or practice:
The Faculty / Staff Fitness Program was started in 1984 with 10 activity classes enrolling 100 individuals. Today there are an average of 30-40 classes serving over 800 faculty/staff, GTAs/GRAs, spouses/partners, and retirees of the university each term.
No membership fees are collected; a modest class fee is all that is charged. Services Include:
FSF Activity Classes - Each term, class schedules are distributed via our listserv list, on the web, or in 123 Langton Hall.
FSF Listserv - Beneficial program and class information in the form of monthly email announcements. http://lists.oregonstate.edu/mailman/listinfo/fsf_participants.
Lockers - Baskets, lockers(half/full), towels and showers are available for OSU personnel in both Langton Hall and the Women's Building. An additional fee, paid in 123 Langton, is required for these services.
Tri-annual Blood Screenings - Blood samples are drawn in 124 Langton Hall by the staff from Corvallis Good Samaritan Hospital's laboratory unit. Profile analyses are completed at the hospital and returned to FSF who then distribute them to the participants.
Blood Pressure & Pulse Rate Checks - Our fully automated monitor is FREE of charge and is located in Langton 123 (FSF headquarters). Hours are 8:00am-5:00pm, Monday through Friday.
Articles - A digest of health and fitness information available on our FSF website.
Annual Awards Picnic - Held in late May/early June, participants gather at the conclusion of each year to acknowledge and give recognition to fellow participants who by team, or individual accomplishment, and by nomination and selection, receive annual awards.
In addition to the Faculty / Staff Fitness Program, Faculty and Staff have access to the Dixon Recreation Center and the programs and services they offer. Recreational Sports program areas include: adventure, aquatics, fitness, intramural sports, safety, and sport clubs. Each program area offers a variety of activities designed to be inclusive of people of all skill levels and abilities. (http://oregonstate.edu/recsports/)
CAPS (Counseling and Psychological Services) is also available for faculty and staff. CAPS is available to consult with faculty, staff, and administrators. A CAPS counselor is "on call" Monday 10:00 - 4:30 and Tuesday through Friday 9:00 - 4:30 (737-2131, 500 Snell Hall) for urgent concerns, consultation, and referral.
"LifeBalanceOSU" helps faculty and staff maintain a healthy balance in life. The program strives to create a family-friendly environment where your work life or school life can be balanced with your personal life. (http://oregonstate.edu/admin/hr/LifeBalanceOSU/)
