Staff COVID Resources
 

We recognize that during stressful times people react differently, and with the COVID-19 outbreak there are a range of emotions to cope with. There are confidential resources to consider if you or someone you know may be looking for support.

Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) offer a variety of services to help face crisis, personal stress and anxiety as well as financial or legal concerns. Madison National Life Insurance offers an EAP program for eligible (enrolled) staff.

Please visit the appropriate website(s) for these resources as well as COVID-19 related plan updates, copay changes, telehealth resources and more. If you have an immediate need or concern and are looking for guidance on available services please contact the Benefits Coordinator at (218) 749-8130, ext. 1115 or lawilliams@isd2142.k12.mn.us
