Creating a Culture of Care
We are so grateful for your partnership with C+FS Employee Assistance Program. Your decision to offer this benefit sends a powerful message to your employees that their health truly matters. During times when many employees are carrying burdens, both visible and unseen, your support makes a difference. Creating a culture of care, starts with access to support.
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, a time to reflect on the silent struggles that many people carry and the impact these struggles can have on safety, families, and work. With the support of our partners at C+FS Haven House, our EAP team is here to provide confidential assistance, and pathways to healing for anyone who may be affected by interpersonal violence. Click here to register for our webinar: Safety Without Exceptions: Inclusive Advocacy and Support for Survivors of Domestic Violence.
We also invite you to share our recorded webinar, “Mental Health Basics,” with your employees. This video offers practical ways to understand mental health, and how we can support one another. By sharing this with your workplace, you are opening the door to greater awareness and care, and you are reinforcing the supportive culture that you have already worked so hard to create.
Thank you for your partnership and for partnering with us in this important work. Together, we are creating spaces where employees know they are supported and never alone.
EAP Launches a New Model of Service! We are excited to partner with ESC!!!

Making an EAP Referral
The purpose of an administrative referral is to facilitate connecting an employee with the EAP program for support when job performance or other personal concerns are impeding their success at work. EAP will provide objective assistance and support that will allow the employee to address their current challenges. The intended outcome will be for the employee to return to their former level of acceptable performance.
**EAP remains, as always, a voluntary and neutral program. **
