It’s this choice that improves your EFAP by allowing you to instantly access tools, resources and service recommendations in the way you are most comfortable with.
EFAP will continue to include a full range of health and wellness services:
Counselling Services
Counselling services are available over the telephone, by video or online. The counsellors are highly qualified with a minimum of a master’s degree, typically in social work or psychology. The counselling is based on a short-term model with a solution-focused approach that is meant to help people understand their concerns and develop a plan of action to address them.
Life Smart Coaching
This is a series of work life services that include parenting, childcare and eldercare, legal consultation by qualified lawyers, financial guidance through certified financial experts, nutritional coaching by Registered Dietitians, career coaching which also includes pre-retirement and shiftwork guidance provided by career counsellors and smoking cessation support. Each service has been developed to allow you to take a proactive approach to manage everyday challenges and life transitions and receive information and support that suits your unique situation. For the most part, these services are delivered by telephone and often include an assessment, a personalized package of information and useful tools with your best interests in mind.
