Employee and Family Assistance Program
The Employee and Family Assistance Program (EFAP) provides you and your family with quick, confidential access to experienced professional counsellors and consultants who can help you resolve a broad range of personal and work-related concerns. There is no cost to use the benefit.
The program is provided through Family Services Employee Assistance Programs (FSEAP).
In addition to counselling services, your EFAP also provides a variety of work/life services to help you manage your responsibilities and reach your goals. The program can help you achieve personal well-being, manage relationships and family, obtain legal and financial clarity, understand proper nutrition, address workplace challenges, and tackle addictions.
Support can be provided over the phone, in person, online, and through a variety of issue-based health and wellness resources.
Use of the EFAP and any information collected is completely confidential within the full limits of the law. No one, including your employer or your union, will ever know that you or someone from your family has used the service unless you choose to tell them.
