Editor’s Note: Your friends in Employee Health Services want you to enjoy a healthy and happy holiday season. Watch for weekly articles in Compass on how to take care of yourself and make the most of this wonderful time!
Kick the Holiday Blues!
For all the wonders of the season, there are a lot of demands put on us. There’s cleaning and cooking, shopping and decorating, the company that comes and the visits that must be made. It can stress finances and bring up memories of family and friends who are no longer with us.
If you find yourself getting overly stressed or depressed during the holidays, or any time, remember there is a benefit available to help you get back on track. UM Shore Regional Health offers an employee assistance program provided by Carebridge.
Many people think Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) are only for people in crisis. The truth is, EAP can help you to deal with everyday issues you may be facing. Counselors work with you to resolve issues before a crisis occurs. Equally important, there is no cost to you and the services are completely confidential.
In addition to counseling through EAP, the Carebridge website is a wonderful resource. It has videos and articles covering everything from healthy living, stress reduction, and how to make a budget, to name a few.
The Employee Assistance Program is designed to both solve problems and enhance quality of life for both you and your family members.
To access Carebridge, call 800-437-0911 24 hours per day, seven days per week or visit their website: www.myliferesource.com. Your Access Code: RXKY3
