Short term Counselling

In the Philippines finding a therapist might feel out of reach for employees especially those who are suffering from work-related stress and mental health conditions. But a good EAP can make it very simple.

With a good employee assistance program, counselling is just a phone call away or even a one on one session with a local clinician. Employer’s who provide this service ensure that their staff and employees get access to help immediately without worrying about the costs.

While this service is available to employees, many employers extend these counselling services to the immediate family members of the employee.

With the mental health act, confidentiality is a cornerstone of this service. This is one of the biggest things employers must look into as well.
