Shutdowns are stressful. Working without pay while supporting your family takes a real toll. You do not have to tough it out alone.
- Employee Assistance Program (EAP): Your EAP services continue during the shutdown and are free and confidential. Contact your agency’s EAP for counseling, financial guidance, and referrals.
- 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: Call or text 988. Available 24/7.
- SAMHSA National Helpline: 1-800-662-4357. Free, confidential referrals and information.
- Lean on your union family. Your local stewards and fellow public servants understand what you are going through. Stay connected.
