Message from the Director:
The new year is a time for reflection. 2024 brought growth and new milestones for C+FS EAP. We are proud to provide our community with easy access to mental health and wellness services. These statistics speak volumes, and none of this would have been possible without your partnership. We are grateful for your continued commitment to offering this important benefit.
As we look ahead to 2025, we are excited to share a new opportunity with you and your team: our winter webinar series, “Thriving in Every Role: Practical Insights for Goal Setting, Work, and Communication.” This series is designed to help you approach the new year with confidence and strategies for success.
We welcome you to be part of this journey with us. Together we will make this year one of growth, connection, and thriving.
