FINDING BALANCE IN YOUR LIFE
STEP BY STEP
Get to Know Your Tools for Success What is an EAP? An Employee Assistance Program is an employer-sponsored program that offers services to help you deal with personal problems. EAPs can help reduce your health care and disability claims, increase your productivity and morale and lower absenteeism. What do EAPs include? Your initial usage of your EAP will be made via phone call. You can also engage with a mental health professional via the web or even Facetime. Many EAP visits will lead into in-person visits as needed and an EAP is a great start for a referral to a specialist that meets your needs. What type of issues can I use it for? • Alcohol or substance abuse • Smoking cessation • Divorce/marital problems • Stress management • Crisis intervention • Child care • Eldercare • Eating disorders • Gambling addiction • Psychological or psychiatric problems • Financial problems • Legal problems
How much does it cost? Your EAP is FREE! MSDWT knows that your physical wellness and your mental wellness are equally important. We are proud to offer a free, 27/4 resource that allows you both peace of mind and the helping hand that many of us need at some point in our lives. Will my employer know I’m using it? No. Your Employee Assistance Program is completely confidential and your individual usage will not be reported to your employer. I don’t think my issues are big enough for this. Everyone manages stress differently, and everyone faces varying degrees all the time. No matter how big or small, no matter if your challenges have been long-lasting or you’d like help early, this is a great starting point for you.
