UW CareLink offers special workshops for continuing employees after a layoff

With the UW facing a severe budget crisis and layoffs becoming a sobering reality, employees who remain often have intense feelings of guilt. UW CareLink, the faculty and staff assistance program, is providing special workshops for those remaining after a layoff.

The workshops will be led by Sue Covey, who has more than 30 years in the counseling field. They will address the complicated issues around layoff situations, such as knowing the right thing to do during this difficult period or how to maintain one’s morale. The workshops are free.

“For Continuing Employees: Coping with Layoffs” will be held on three occasions, all in the HUB:


  • 8:30 to 10 a.m. Thursday, May 21
  • 1 to 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 2
  • 10 to 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, June 10

Pre-registration is encouraged.
