healthy & well
AT LBNL
Welcome
Healthy & Well at LBNL is a centralized location for Lab staff to find support and resources to help build their health, wellness and well-being. The website is intended to get you thinking about the things you can do to foster health and wellness in your life - both at work and at home. In each section you’ll find a collection of resources from the Lab, UC Berkeley and the community that touch on different aspects of health and wellness.
Why does it matter?
You know the safety advice when flying “Secure your own oxygen mask before helping others”? The same goes for health and wellness – caring for ourselves is an integral part in caring for our families, friends and loved ones. Caring for ourselves gives us the capacity to better handle stressful or demanding situations both at home and work.
The site is a collaborative effort between Health Services, Human Resources and the IDEA Office to support the health and wellness of Berkeley Lab employees and their families. Questions? Please email us at IDEA@lbl.gov.

The last year has been a challenge and we've all had to adapt in ways we'd never contemplated before.
To help support all the changes we've faced, the IDEA Office & Health Services has launched a new website: Healthy & Well at LBNL. We've designed it to be a central location for Lab employees to find resources and tools related to health, wellness and well-being
Join us for an overview of the website, resources and themes for the month.
