The Child Mind Institute encourages employees to take time away from work to maintain a healthy work-life balance. We recognize that employees have diverse needs for time off from work, so we offer flexible time off benefits — for vacation, personal matters, health-related or family leave, or celebrating holidays or days of significance.

The EAP provides access to professionals who can help you deal with challenging situations in your personal life, manage daily stressors, answer financial questions, or find care or support for a family member.
