Flatten The Stress Curve
You’ve heard a lot lately about flattening the curve with COVID-19. But no matter who gets the virus, there’s one thing everyone has, and that’s stress. The Employee Assistance Program (EAP) can help you flatten the stress curve. Whether you or your loved ones are wondering how to pay bills, live more peacefully, balance work and home, manage fear, frustration, loneliness or best care for others, EAP services can help.
