Give your brain a workout and get to know others at PNW!
Research shows that intellectual challenge and social connectedness are two factors that can contribute to brain health throughout the life span. Developed by the University of Illinois Extension, each session of Wits Workout embraces a unique theme to facilitate discussion on an important topic related to brain health – exercise, diet, sleep, short- and long-term memory, and many more!
Although we can’t eliminate all of the pressures we face in our day-to-day lives, we can be better prepared for them. This presentation examines the cycle of stress, reviews cognitive restructuring techniques, and discusses ways to build resilience and manage stress. By providing real scenarios that allow participants to “test drive” their stress management techniques, personal strategies are identified that increase resiliency and stress management techniques.

Understand the impact of mental illness, boundary issues, impatience and rudeness – all of which can impact your interactions with others. Learn techniques for detaching and self-care.

Indiana Tobacco Hotline
Available seven days a week, the Indiana Tobacco Quitline is provided by the state Department of Health and is available to all Indiana residents. If you call from a number outside of Indiana, you will be connected to a Quitline for that location.
This program can only be completed once per year. If you have already completed this program, please select another option.
- Available to employees and spouses at all campuses.
- To receive credit for this approved tobacco cessation program, you must:
- Register: Call 1-800-QUIT-NOW (1-800-784-8669) to start the program. A Quitline intake specialist will get your demographic information and register you in the program. You will then be transferred to a quit coach for your initial coaching call or you will be scheduled for an outbound call from the quit coach at a later date.
- Calls: Quit coach calls include assessment of status, review of stage of readiness to change, action items appropriate to status, discussion of triggers and barriers, setting a quit date and information/resources. During a coaching call, the quit coach schedules the timeframe for your next call. Should you miss a scheduled call, you can call in yourself to reach a quit coach.
- Timing: You will receive four calls with your quit coach. Generally, most people complete their four calls between six and 12 weeks. You may take longer than 12 weeks if needed, but you must not complete the four quit coach calls in shorter than six weeks.
Submit Your Letter of Completion
During your fourth call with your quit coach, you must request a “Letter of Completion.” Once you receive that in the mail, you will submit this letter to Human Resources as evidence of completion:

Through a series of up to four sessions, telephonic and/or in person, you can receive (a) guidance to help you handle challenges while quitting and (b) recommendations for selection and proper use of medications to help make you more comfortable while you are quitting.
Please contact the Center for Healthy Living at (765) 494-0111 to schedule your first session with a nurse health coach or pharmacist at least one week before your planned quit date.
If you certified you are a tobacco user when you enrolled in your benefits, you will have an additional annual medical premium of $1,000. You have the option of completing an approved tobacco cessation program to reduce your premium. Complete an approved program in 2024 and your premium can be lowered for part or all of the plan year.
