Promoting Wellness: The Employee Assistance Program

Need help with stress? Health? Finances? Life-issues?

The Employee and Family Assistance Program (EFAP, also commonly referred to as EAP) is a perk offered to Humber full-time employees. Although many employees are aware they provide counselling services for stress, their services cover a wide range of issues. For example, did you know that EFAP also provides assistance with:

  • Counselling for relationship problems, family issues, addiction, depression, or anxiety
  • Assistance on matters of physical health (nutrition, sleep, allergies, etc.)
  • Financial advice (debt management, financial planning, etc.)
  • Legal advice (wills, buying/selling a home, etc.)

EFAP even offers services to your family members. The assistance is available 24/7 and is confidential; no one at Humber will know you or your family use the EFAP services unless you want them to. Get more information about EFAP.
