The University of Lethbridge Employee Assistance Program is a confidential resource provided to help faculty, staff and family members (who are enrolled in the benefits plans) enhance their personal and workplace functioning. 

The EFAP is a pro-active option for helping you manage your personal health and happiness.

You and your eligible dependents can each receive up to twelve hours of counselling services per benefit year provided through the EFAP.  Counselling services are provided either in person, over the phone or through a secure Internet site.

The EFAP offers confidential, professional counseling (and referrals, when required) for you or your family’s personal difficulties such as:

• Alcohol or drug dependencies
• Bereavement
• Emotional or physical problems
• Financial and legal difficulties
• Gambling
• Marital or family problems
• Pre-retirement Planning
• Sexual harassment or abuse
• Stress

Everything is completely confidential. Homewood Health is contracted to provide and coordinate all services and counsellors are required by law to maintain the strictest confidentiality.  No one who enquires about – or receives services – under this plan will be identified to anyone without your written approval.  You won’t be identified to anybody – including your employer.
