Why provide an EAP?
Sun West cares about it's employees and their dependents. The EAP can be used free of charge as needed when employees or their dependents are facing emotional, financial, legal, or other concerns.
Are the services confidential?
Yes, the EAP is strictly confidential. No information about participation in the program is provided to Sun West.
Why might my family or I use the services?
There are many reasons to use these services. You may wish to contact the EAP if you:
What happens when I call?
When you call, you will speak with a GuidanceConsultantSM, a master’s- or PhD-level counsellor who will collect some general information about you and will talk with you about your needs. The GuidanceConsultant will provide the name of a counsellor who can assist you. You can then set up an appointment to speak with the counsellor over the phone or schedule a face-to-face visit.
What counselling services does the EAP provide?
The EAP provides free short-term counselling with counsellors in your area who can help you with your emotional concerns.
If the counsellor determines that your issues can be resolved with short-term counselling, you will receive counselling through the EAP. However, if it is determined that the problem cannot be resolved in short-term counselling in the EAP and you will need longer-term treatment, you will be referred to a specialist early on.
Can my children use the EAP?
Yes. The EAP is a confidential benefit for employees and their household family members.
