EAP programs often make the difference to keep production high and families intact. Some LPCs help clients achieve mental and emotional adjustment during an illness, accident, or disability. Other LPCs facilitate a return to work, help find new professions, or help clients cope with life changes. LPCs assist individuals in assessing vocational interests, abilities, and goals. They also provide counseling for career and life planning decisions.
Many businesses face unique problems that require creative solutions.
Some LPCs specialize in providing stress management training, as well as the communication, problem-solving and team building skills employers and employees need to function efficiently and effectively. The helping relationship promotes more positive personality growth and development. A troubled member is treated by focusing on past and current relationships, as well as communication and behavior patterns, to develop a more satisfactory way of living for the family as a whole. The group provides support, direction, and feedback to help members develop and practice better understanding and problem solving methods. The focus may be on improving communication, problem-solving, roles, responsibilities, and ways to achieve greater intimacy.
