There are numerous ways EAPs can help, so never dismiss the program as an avenue to resolve a problem you face. Ways EAPs help that are often overlooked: Acting as a sounding board when you face a tough decision. Help for deciding whether you need a professional counselor or a completely different type of resource. Problem solving about how to help a friend who won’t get help or admit they have a problem. Guidance on handling a personality clash with a coworker or boss. Help to rule out whether you are depressed, burnt out, or experiencing signs of any other condition. UR Medicine EAP is brought to you by Well-U, helping eligible individuals to assess issues, and provide short-term counseling and referrals. Keith Stein | 4/8/2021 You may also like Can We Talk?
