Life Coaching
Clinical EAP coaches provide life coaching for individuals who may be content overall but want to be more satisfied with their lives and seek to find happiness or fulfillment. Life coaches are expert facilitators of mindset and behavior change that generate sustainable healthy lifestyles and overall well-being. Life coaching can address issues like obesity, diabetes, poor nutrition and chronic stress. Coaches help clarify goals and identify solutions through motivational interviewing while holding individuals accountable as they take the proper steps to achieve their goals. A certified coach is available by appointment to address any issues getting in the way of optimal well-being.

Our Life Coaching service can be a stand-alone offer or an add-on to the Employee Assistance Program.
Eliminate Burnout
Stress is often considered a fact of life that has a slight or moderate impact on health. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth. Poor management of stress has been identified as a trigger for many different types of illness, and it increases an individual's vulnerability to illness and accident. Stress makes some illnesses worse and studies show that it slows healing.
