I hope you’re enjoying your spring recess and following CDC recommendations. We are all used to a routine, and for most of us that routine has been altered due to COVID-19. If you’re stressing over being isolated at home and need assistance, EAP is there for you.
The Employee Assistance Program will be answering calls during the spring recess from 8:30am to 4:30pm. The program is for you, the individual employee, and for your immediate family members. EAP is designed to provide confidential help to individuals whose personal problems are affecting their ability to function at home, in their social life, or on the job. All of us at one time or another have personal medical problems which affect us in many areas of our lives. Most of the time we find our own solutions to these problems. Sometimes, however, outside help and professional guidance are needed. Your Employee Assistance Program is a good place to start.
EAP deals with all types of problems including alcoholism, drug abuse, emotional or other concerns, such as health, family, stress, marital, financial, legal, or vocational difficulties. Miami-Dade County Public Schools recognizes behavioral disorders and mental health problems as illnesses that can be successfully treated. The program goal is to help those individuals by providing consultation and referral to treatment and rehabilitation, in order to prevent their condition from progressing to a degree at which they cannot work effectively.
Do not hesitate to reach out for assistance. It’s completely confidential. For assistance by phone, please contact EAP directly at (305) 995-7111
