Get Mental Health Relief!

American workers are still having trouble getting on an even keel since the pandemic first kicked in four years ago. Almost two-thirds of U.S. workers struggle with mental health according to a survey by One Medical.  And the 2024 Voice of the Workplace Report from Calm revealed that 61% of employees say they have felt down, depressed, or hopeless recently and 8 in 10 say they have struggled with nervousness, anxiety, and stress. It’s hard to maintain personal productivity both at work and at home when you’re struggling with poor mental health!

About half of those who need mental health care don’t get help for a variety of reasons, from worrying about the stigma or the cost to not knowing how to find care and not being aware of various treatment options. Your employer makes it easy for you and your family to get quality mental health care through your Employee Assistance Program (EAP). It’s confidential, cost-free, and you don’t need to seek permission or tell your manager – just pick up the phone and call 800-252-4555 or log in at www.theEAP.com. Here are just some of the services that your EAP provides:

• Telephonic in-the-moment counseling from clinical professionals 24/7/365 for anxiety, depression, mental health issues, and more. Call our toll-free number day or night – 800.252.4555.
• One-to-one professional coaching for stress management, resilience, and wellness issues. Call 800.252.4555 to talk about Coaching options.
