Faculty and Staff Assistance Program

Beginning November 1, 2005, you and your family members will have access to a Faculty and Staff Assistance Program (AP). This new benefit acknowledges that at one time or another during our lives, we're all subjected to the stresses of life. And inevitably, the problems we experience touch all areas - including the work place.

Consider: Anxiety, chemical dependency, divorce, job stress, child/elder care, family problems, depression, financial or legal difficulties, loneliness, relationship conflicts, career confusion, parenting.

The AP will be provided by Perspectives, Ltd. It offers cost-free assessment and referral services by a professional counselor either by phone or in person. There is also an online resource that gives access to articles and searchable databases. The program is designed to assist people, not only when they are in the midst of a problem, but also to address issues proactively before they become problems. The AP is entirely voluntary and confidential. Perspectives has offices in greater metropolitan Chicago and Northwest Indiana.

Watch for upcoming publicity concerning supervisory training as well as faculty and staff orientation sessions.
