Few programs can match the comprehensiveness and dynamic scope of services offered by our non profit Employee and Family Assistance/Assessment and Resource Program (EFAP/ARS). The simplicity of the model's concept, along with its inherent flexibility, gives it tremendous potential to address the specific needs of our member organizations.

With an increasing awareness of the economic and ethical implications involved when an employee is experiencing personal difficulties, many employers, employee groups and unions have realized the benefit and effectiveness of our proactive, prevention based program which provides immediate access to confidential counselling services in a readily accessible and professional office setting, located away from the workplace.

Available to all employees, their families and retirees, the EFAP/ARS Model has grown to encompass a clientele of nearly half a million people with 21 offices in Canada and the United States. What sets our model apart is our unique approach to embrace the workplace, the community and the family in bringing about a "change in culture", wherein everyone benefits from a wellness-centered approach to attain psychological and emotional well being. The EFAP/ARS Model of EFAP, when correctly developed and applied, becomes a very productive instrument for not only responding to needs, but also for creating positive change in the society in which the workplace is an integral part.

We recognize that personal difficulties and workplace issues will always be present, despite the combined efforts of those involved, however, we can make progress toward meaningful social responsibility which, after all, is really no more than the old-fashioned notion of helping each other. Respect for the individual is more than a statement ~ it is a working solution for most of our problems.

The EFAP/ARS Model is best displayed on our Model page representing the interaction of participating areas.
