The peace of mind that comes with knowing your loved ones are well cared for is foundational for working families. Furthermore, finding a sense of work-life wellness and integration - however you define it - is essential. The University of Notre Dame is committed to supporting you as you navigate caring for your loved ones. The Family Services and Programs offered are intended to equip and empower faculty and staff to make informed decisions, connect with care providers, and feel a sense of community and support.
