No one is immune, everyone has problems/issues. 95% of those problems/issues we can deal with on a day-to-day basis. It’s the 5% of the problems that we can’t deal with that affect not only ourselves, but those individuals that we come into contact on a daily basis. An Employee Assistance Program (EAP), offered by your employer, can help you start to resolve those issues.
Call RMEAP if:
- Your relationship is threatened;
- Your child’s school performance and behaviors become a problem;
- You feel stressed at work;
- You’re burnt out;
