EAP Committee
The new year often brings renewed goals around improved physical and mental well-being. Apps have become a common tool in supporting these efforts. Below is a list of a few popular free wellness apps you can use in the new year to support your physical health, mental well-being, sleep, and daily habits. Many offer robust free features, though some also include optional premium upgrades. If you have an app that you find helpful, share it with your flying partners. Remember, your AFA EAP is also available to assist you with your wellness. Call 800-424-2406.
