Need a Little Help? We've Got You
April is Alcohol Awareness Month. This is a time to learn how alcohol can affect our health, safety, and daily life. Many people use alcohol to relax or cope with stress, but too much can cause problems at work, at home, and with our health.
If you or someone you care about is struggling, you are not alone. Help is available. Our Employee Assistance Program (EAP) offers free and confidential support for you and your family. You can talk to a trained counselor, get advice, and find helpful resources. Support is available 24/7. See the resources below:

Stress is something everyone feels, and there are simple ways to manage it. Taking short breaks, going for a walk, getting enough sleep, and talking to someone you trust can all help you feel better. It’s also important to take a few minutes each day to slow down and breathe. Taking care of your stress is an important step toward staying healthy and feeling your best. Speaking of stress help, read more for our upcoming walking challenge.

Boosting Your Benefits
Don't Skip Your Checkup
April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month, a good reminder to take care of your health. Regular dental checkups and screenings can help catch problems early, when they are easier to treat. This is especially important if you have a history of tobacco use, including chewing tobacco, which can increase your risk. A quick screening during your dental visit can make a big difference. If it’s been a while since your last checkup, now is a great time to schedule one and take a simple step toward protecting your health.
The Lincoln mobile app can help you find an in-network dentist close to you. Follow these links to the Apple and Google stores to download.
