It’s important to protect your heart – in the emotional and the physical sense. Research shows that biological and chemical factors that trigger mental health issues may also influence heart disease. This means an investment in your emotional health could also be an investment in your physical health. Northrop Grumman understands the head-heart connection, which is why it’s easy to prioritize your emotional and physical well-being with NGCare. NGCare is available to all employees and their family members at no cost. You don’t need to be enrolled in any other benefits to access its services, resources or assessment tools.
Mindset Matters
NGCare offers digital tools, coaching and counseling. Whether you’re dealing with addiction, grief, stress or just need someone to talk to, NGCare is here to help you cultivate positive habits and cope with life’s challenges.
Emotional well-being is an individual journey, but the people around you play a role in shaping your environment. Healthy relationships have been shown to improve self-esteem and reduce stress – a key factor in your risk of developing heart disease. NGCare recognizes the importance of connection and provides relationship counseling for employees and their partners. In fact, relationships are consistently the top reason employees seek counseling.
Let’s Get Physical
NGCare also offers physical health resources to help you become the healthiest version of yourself. Employees can find resources for fitness and nutrition, as well as participate in Mondays in Motion – guided stretch breaks designed to beat stress and incorporate movement into your routine, offered weekly at noon and 3 p.m. ET. Additionally, NGCare provides answers to common questions and tips for exercising and eating clean – both of which are shown to improve heart health, as well as mental health.
It can be hard to know where to start when prioritizing your well-being. A great first step is to take a self-assessment to determine your scores for the six pillars of well-being (mental, emotional, social, legal, physical and financial) and find tailored solutions to address your unique needs. You can also schedule an appointment with a certified NGCare counselor or well-being coach for confidential support.
