More than one in five U.S. adults experience mental illness each year.1 That’s why this Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re taking the opportunity to provide extra education and resources for your emotional well-being. Whether you’re struggling yourself or want to be a better support system for those around you, Rockwell is here to help.
1. Confide in Someone
When life feels overwhelming, it’s important to talk to someone—including a mental health professional, mentor, friend, or even a stranger. Sharing the burden can help you find the clarity, validation, and support you need to feel better.
No matter what you’re dealing with—life changes, relationship challenges, financial concerns, or something else—the ComPsych Employee Assistance Program (EAP) can help. The EAP provides free, confidential support to you and your household members whenever you need it.
If you’re enrolled in the High-Performance medical plan option through Centivo, you can also get help finding an in-network therapist with Rula. This online mental health clinic connects you with covered providers that fit your unique needs and your budget.

2. Stress Less and Sleep More
Everyone gets “busy brain” from time to time—those racing thoughts that can make it difficult to focus, unwind, and fall asleep. Find peace in your day-to-day life with the Calm mobile app. You can reduce your stress, improve sleep, and increase relaxation through free content like:
- Workshops
- Guided meditations
- Music
- Sleep Stories
- Masterclasses
- Quick movement sessions
The Calm Premium membership is free for you and up to five of your dependents. Get started by visiting calm.com/b2b/rockwell-automation/subscribe.
3. Build Better Work-Life Balance
Being your best self starts outside of the office. When you have a healthy work-life balance, you’re able to feel more focused, productive, and energized both at work and at home. That’s why Rockwell offers a variety of time off and leave of absence options—including paid vacation days, paid parental leave, caregiver leave, and volunteer time off—to help you make time for what matters most.
Eligible employees can also receive up to 14 holidays per calendar year.
To learn more about your time off options, see page 36 in the 2026 Benefits Guide.
4. Make Time for Movement
Staying active in your daily life can be a fast, free, and easy way to improve not only your physical health but also your mental
well-being. Exercise—including running, biking, weightlifting, fitness classes, or even short walks—releases feel-good endorphins that can help you reduce stress and improve your mood. Not to mention, physical activity can get you out of your usual environment and provide a healthy distraction from negative thoughts.
If you’re enrolled in a Rockwell medical plan option, you can also earn money while you move! Through OnTrack, you can earn a $500 well-being credit towards your medical plan contributions by completing healthy activities throughout the year.

5. Notice Burnout Before It Happens
Burnout, or severe mental and physical exhaustion brought on by prolonged stress, is one of the most common mental health concerns in the workplace. The best way to protect your emotional well-being—and the well-being of those around you—is to recognize the signs before it becomes unmanageable.
Here are a few things to look out for:
- Chronic fatigue or exhaustion
- Changes in mood—like feeling more irritable, anxious, or overwhelmed than usual
- Frequent physical symptoms like headaches, loss of appetite, or muscle tension
- Difficulty focusing and reduced performance
- Alienation and lack of enthusiasm for usual daily activities
Remember that help is available whenever you need it. If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health, refer back to these resources for support. If you or someone you know is at risk of harming themselves, call or text the Suicide Prevention Lifeline by dialing 988 for 24/7 free, confidential support.
