Health Tip

Don’t Miss Out on The Benefits of The Employee Assistance Program

Did you know that our health trust offers employee assistance programs through First Choice Health? These programs are considered extras, but are included with most plans in the health trust. They are extremely helpful to employees, especially as they navigate difficult times in their lives. Whether battling depression, overcoming legal challenges, seeking child or elderly care, or buying a home for the first time, there are programs to help along the way. See below for more details, and be sure to take advantage of the programs through First Choice Health if you’re already a member. If you’re not a member, consider getting a free quote from the Capital Benefits team today!

Services Provided Through the Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

EAP Counseling Sessions: 3 Free Sessions per individual covered, 24/7 hotline, & a whole-person approach to care (note: these sessions are at no extra cost and don’t use your health plan benefits)

Legal Support: Legal support consultations to help you get on the right path before you hire a lawyer
