The uptick in celebrations around the holiday season can also mean an uptick in stressors for many — and a resulting uptick in employee assistance program (EAP) use, according to Diane Pipes, LISW-S, manager of well-being services for TriHealth, on this episode of Getting Health Care Right.
Pipes says it’s a good idea to help employees pre-plan for high-stress incidents. “How can I plan for the holiday function where I don’t want to see a particular family member?” she asks. “How can I plan for those occasions where there’s lots of alcohol and food, and I don’t want to overconsume?”
Listen as Pipes discusses the history and value of EAPs with host Jamie Smith, market president and publisher of the Cincinnati Business Courier, and learn more about:
· Advice for employees who may be hesitant about using an EAP.
· Resources beyond EAPs for employees whose workplace doesn’t offer them.
· ROI estimates for employers considering an EAP as part of benefit offerings.
· Reductions in stigma around mental health services today.
· The role of behavioral health in TriHealth’s population health initiative.
