EMPLOYEE EMOTIONAL, PHYSCIAL, MENTAL, AND BEHAVIORAL SUPPORTS
METHODIST EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (EAP) for all MSCS employees:
The Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is available to all MSCS employees and their immediate family members. The program is intended to provide confidential assistance with personal problems that may have an impact on emotional, financial, psychological, or physical well-being.
We have all, at one time or another, experienced life challenges that impact us in different ways. Often, our default is to internalize these emotional stressors or try to find our own remedy, which may not always be the best solution. EAP offers a caring, helping hand through outside assistance and guidance so that you don’t have to weather your storms alone.
