Work-Life Consultations

Family Services Employee Assistance Programs offers integrated EAP and Work-Life Consultations. An integrated program provides one-stop access to counselling and work-life services and ensures that client issues are resolved from a whole health perspective, without fragmenting care between providers.

Your Partner in Workplace Health™

Organizational health strategies are guided by a belief in the interdependent relationship between organizational success and the health and effectiveness of employees. Employee effectiveness is in no small measure dependent on the balance achieved between individual, family, and workplace well-being. To help employees achieve this balance, we offer both Employee Assistance Programs and Work-Life Consultations.

Family Services Employee Assistance Program (FSEAP) has over 30 years experience providing employee and workplace counselling and consulting. Our approach integrates EAP and work-life to ensure timely resolution of concerns related to family care, legal and financial difficulties, health and career as well as related issues that require clinical counselling (for example stress, substance abuse and parenting).

In addition to the benefits of an integrated EAP/Work-Life program for employees and families, organizations benefit from the reduced costs and administration of a single vendor relationship.
