Hi
Also check with your insurers as some offer free EAP. We signed up with Care First only to discover after we signed the contract that we could get free EAP through our Group Income Protection Insurance! We are now waiting for the contract to end so we can sign up for the free one!!!

Hi Rose
We use Workplace Options here at KCH, have found them to be largely good. At my last Trust we used Care First, also good. My personal recommendation is to check out exactly what is on offer, I've had some providers tell us one level of counselling is available and then alter the goal posts. I would also recommend going for one that provides the wider package of financial advice, career coaching etc etc. There is a Website that is run by the providers association so that you can look at the main ones. Here you go.

Hello Fellow JISC mailers
As a local authority, we are always looking at ways to make the limited money available for staff support to go as far as possible and we are considering moving to an EAP approach rather offering just face to face counselling sessions. Does anyone out there have any thoughts or experiences - positive or negative - that they would be willing to share?
Many thanks in advance for any help you could give.
