Employee and Family Assistance Program (EFAP)

The Employee & Family Assistance Program (EFAP) is an employee benefit program, supported and administered by both labour and management.

EFAP provides confidential, professional assistance through counseling to employees, spouses and dependants to help them resolve personal difficulties which may negatively affect the employee's job performance or personal well-being.

Problem assistance includes, but not limited to: job, marital/relationship conflict, psychological concerns (stress, depression, grief, etc), financial and legal concerns as well as problems associated with alcohol and / or drug use.
Besides being confidential, the program is designed to allow employees and families to seek help on their own.

There are two separate EFAP programs, one for all employees within the former South Central Health District & former Moose Mountain Health District and one for employees from the former South East Health District (Estevan and area.)
