If you have never explored Drake’s Employee Assistance Program through Employee & Family Resources, now is a great time to do so.  They offer a wonderful range of resources—including confidential counseling, free webinars, podcasts, a blog, self-assessment tools, and a free mobile app.

Their services also include financial and legal consultation, child/elder care resources, and life coaching.  You may reach EFR by phone (800-327-4692) or visit their website.

Did you know that representatives from EFR are available to attend a department or staff meeting, or other on campus employee groups (in-person or virtually) to highlight their resources and help answer any questions?  They will present to groups of any size.  With the start of the academic year, this can be a valuable resource. If you would like EFR to speak during one of your meetings, please send an email to linda.feiden@drake.edu.
