FOR EMPLOYERS

We offer businesses and their employees several programs which can help improve morale, reduce stress, and increase productivity.

Life Solutions@Work

Life Solutions@Work is our workplace Employee Assistance Program (EAP). We offer you and your employees professional and confidential counselling, coaching, and consulting services. Currently, Family Plus/Life Solutions, Inc. provides Life Solutions@Work EAP services to approximately 23 companies, some of which have offices throughout Atlantic Canada, Ontario, Québec, and Alberta.

  • high employee turnover


Life Solutions@Work can help with:

  • building stronger family or personal relationships

  • managing personal and job stress

  • addressing depression or anxiety

  • coping with separation and loss

  • planning growth and development

  • balancing family and work

  • responding to personal crises

  • identifying substance use and abuse problems

  • relieving financial worries

  • answering legal questions

  • adjusting to life or job transitions

  • nutrition

Workshops

Complimentary to our counselling, we have workshops and trainings that can be adapted for your work place to help your employees become more productive through personal development and growth.

We offer our workshops in person or virtually. We have a dedicated team member who works directly with your company. Some of the workshops and trainings include:

“We switched EAP providers from a large multinational company to Family Plus with the hope that we would get better and more personal service. Family plus have engrained themselves into our company to the point that they are a vital part of the success of our day to day business, and a true business partner. Our teammates know and trust the Family Plus staff to the point that they know them by name. From simple counselling to crisis situations, Family Plus has come through for us time and time again”
