Equity Mental Health and Wellness Program

 

To improve the emotional wellbeing of members, Equity has once again partnered with LifeWorks (already familiar to membership as our existing online platform supporting wellbeing), to provide a short-term customized Mental Health & Wellness assistance program geared to mental, financial, physical, and emotional wellbeing.

This confidential counselling service is designed to support you in handling stress at work and home, parenting and childcare, managing money, and health issues as well. An experienced, Masters-accredited counsellor will work with you to understand your concern, provide support that best suits your needs and guide you to resolution.

There is 24-hour, 7-days-a-week toll-free, secure and confidential telephone access through LifeWorks' Care Access Centre for crisis counselling, risk assessment and matching to appropriate service(s). LifeWorks' intake specialists are fully bilingual in English and French.
