Coaching and support

PNC provides confidential resources and support to help you stay healthy or get healthier. PNC gives you free, time-saving ways to take better care of yourself, physically and emotionally.

1. Well-being Coaching through GuidanceResources

   Well-being coaching is available over the phone or online through GuidanceResources, PNC’s third-party partner. With telephonic coaching, you’re connected with a health coach who will help you set a personalized plan to develop new healthy habits depending on your goals. You’ll talk with your coach on a weekly basis for a few weeks, at a time that fits your schedule.

   Living Well offers free Biometric Screenings and flu shots at most major PNC locations, with other options available to smaller locations. You and your family members also have access to an online library of information, tools and trackers to help you manage your well-being. Options range from online relaxation webcasts to weight loss trackers and healthy recipes.

3. Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

   GuidanceResources is our EAP provider, offering comprehensive services for everyday challenges such as parenting, emotional health or financial well-being; help with mental health or relationship issues; and general legal information about landlord/tenant issues, divorce, etc.
