Mental Health Resources

Mental health and wellness resources for water and wastewater utility professionals, managers, and community leaders.


The Environmental Finance Center works with water and wastewater utilities and the people who keep them running. This page provides mental health, wellness, crisis support, and peer support resources that may be helpful to utility professionals, managers, operators, and local leaders.

While many of these resources are available to the general public, they may be particularly relevant for water and wastewater utility professionals seeking support for personal well-being, workplace wellness, and peer support.
