01 — When life or work is too much, seek professional help.
Sometimes wellbeing requires more than trusted friends. Here are four ways to get expert help when life or work is too much:
Your district’s employee assistance program (EAP)
Your community mental health center
Trauma-informed counselors at directory.traumahealing.org
Call 911 for yourself or a loved one in an emergency

There’s nothing like the right song at the right time to inspire the right mood. Whether you’re gearing up for a big day or winding down to recharge, our Spotify lists have you covered. And if your perfect song is missing from the list, tweet @kmagette to get it added!
