Employers recognize that being mentally healthy is just as important as being physically healthy.
Most companies invest time and energy training their employees and realize a person's performance at work is influenced by their personal life. Thus, most businesses feel it is important to invest in their employees' mental health to ensure business success. The best thing to do is call someone at your place of work who usually looks after personnel questions. They will be able to tell you how to access your EFAP if you have one. Usually employers have a handout from the contracted provider and a phone number for you to call for information.
