    Mental health support

    Intro

     

    Resources keeping you educated, healthy and balanced.

    Between staying healthy, continuing to adapt to an ever-evolving environment and juggling personal responsibilities, the pandemic has thrown plenty of challenges our way. If you feel like this past year has taken a toll on you, you are not alone.

    Did you know:

    • 50% of Americans will be diagnosed with a mental condition at some point in their lifetime.
    • More than 20% of U.S. workers report experiencing symptoms of depression.
    • Depression rates are increasing the fastest among Gen Z & Millennial workers, who together make up about two-thirds of the U.S. workforce.

    At JetBlue, we care about you and your family—and as fellow Crewmembers, we need to support one another more than ever. That’s why we offer resources to help you if you’re experiencing signs of burnout, which include exhaustion, feeling distanced from or negative about your surroundings, and being less effective at work or home.

    If you’re feeling the burnout, here are a few helpful tips:

    If you’re feeling the burnout, here are a few helpful tips:

    Set boundaries.

    If you’re working from home, it can be tough to turn your focus on to personal life at the end of the day. And if you’re at the office, checking email on your phone can make you feel like you’re always connected. Be sure to “switch off mentally” when it’s time to stop working.

    Stick to a regular schedule as much as possible, and make sure you’re getting enough sleep. Eat healthy meals and get plenty of exercise. If you have PTO available, partner with your Crewleader to schedule some much deserved time off. And if you think you might be misusing alcohol or other drugs, including prescriptions, reach out for help. For more information on JetBlue’s Right Step Voluntary Program (RSVP), click here.

    Remembering to take breaks can be tough. Whether in the operation, at the office or at home, find those moments to reset your mind with a quick walk or a stretch. You can try a few of the mindfulness techniques in the dropdown below—or tap into one of Headspace’s videos on meditation for exercises to help you catch your breath.

    While physical distancing is still a smart idea, there are other ways to connect with your loved ones. Schedule a virtual get together and regular phone calls to stay in touch, go for a walk with a friend, or meet in the park with loved ones.

    Tell your teammates and Crewleaders about the stresses you’re facing. They might not realize that you’re dealing with challenges. This openness can encourage others to share as well, and knowing you’re not alone can help you all support each other. If you think you need confidential support from a therapist, reach out to Navigator at 1-855-629-0554, Option 3 (available 0800 – 2000 ET). To register for Navigator, go to jetblue.springhealth.com.

    Try boxed breathing.

    Breathe in for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds, breath out for 4 seconds, then repeat.

    Stretch every 60-90 minutes.

    Perform light stretches throughout the work day.

    Adopt a positive mantra.

    Make up your own mantra, like “you’ve got this” or “inhale calm, exhale work” to say when you start to feel worried or anxious.

    Have a little fun every day.

    Do something that makes you smile each day—check out some fun ideas here.

    Limit media time.

    Try to refrain from being on social media or watching the news 24/7. Stay connected, but not obsessed.
