At Catholic Guardian Services, caring for others is at the heart of what we do — and that includes caring for the people who make our mission possible every day.
Across New York City, CGS employees support children, adults, and families through foster care and adoption, mental health services, family support programs, services for people with developmental disabilities, and other critical human services.
Their compassion, commitment, and hard work are essential to that mission.
Over the past several weeks, Catholic Guardian Services’ HR Benefits Team hosted four Employee Wellness Fairs at CGS locations in the Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island. More than 100 employees participated, taking time to connect with colleagues, recharge, and focus on their own health and well-being.
Supporting the People Behind Our Mission
Employee wellness is about more than a single event. It is part of creating a workplace where employees feel valued, supported, and appreciated for the important work they do.
For staff whose careers are centered on helping others navigate challenges, build stability, and move forward, creating opportunities to focus on their own well-being is equally important.
Catholic Guardian Services is grateful to our HR Benefits Team for organizing the wellness fairs and to all of our colleagues who participated.
Taking care of those who care for others helps strengthen our entire organization — and ultimately strengthens the services we provide to New Yorkers every day.
