Members of the Southcoast
Worksite Health & Wellness Collaborative enjoyed a presentation
on the Family Service
Association Employer Support Program by Development Director Michael
Moran on January 14, 2016. The program is an example of worksite employee
assistance programs (EAP) that can help employers provide counseling and
other services to employees who are experiencing a range of challenges.
"If an employee is having an issue that is impeding their ability to
work productively, then ... we tend to look the other way with that
employee," stated Moran. "The most forward-thinking
organizations and companies are ones that say we need to put something in
place some sort of safety net so that our employees can have a place to go
if those issues arise." The Family Service Association Employee
Support Program provides a comprehensive package of staff training, case
management services, and on-going consultation that includes direct access
to the agency's behavioral health treatment services. The monthly Collaborative meetings, often held at the Sylvia
Insurance Company headquarters on Faunce Corner Road in North
Dartmouth, offer presentations on a number of topics related to worksite
wellness. Click
