Employee Assistance

The purpose of EAPs is to resolve employee issues that are affecting their job performance by providing professional referral services to employees. Through referral and professional consultation, employees are helped to understand and overcome their personal problems. Services offered will be specialized, depending on the identified needs of the employee.

EAP Counsellors may provide the following types of services: strategies related to care of elderly parents, child care and parenting issues; creating work-life balance; handling job-related stress; dealing with harassment in the workplace; overcoming personal and relationship issues; substance abuse; loss and separation anxiety; financial and legal issues; and family violence. Additional EAP services which can be offered may include retirement planning, lay-off assistance; health promotion and wellness; long- term illness and disability planning; crisis counseling and advice for managers and directors dealing with difficult situations.
