As the holidays approach, it can be a time for great joy.  For some, this is also a time for grief.  Grief is a person’s normal, healthy response to a loss.  People grieve for many different reasons, including the loss of a loved one, changes in a relationship, job, finances, health, or traditions.  COVID-19 has created many changes in our way of life, and contributed to increased feelings of grief.

The December Employee Newsletter from Employee & Family Resources addresses this topic and shares tips to help you cope with grief.  It also includes links to past webinars and podcasts you may wish to review over the holidays.

Employee & Family Resources offers a variety of Employee Assistance Program (EAP) resources to help you now, or anytime.  You can reach EAP by phone (800-327-4692) or visit their website at https://www.efr.org/login/.  All EAP benefits are confidential and available 24/7/365.
