Employee Assistance Program
For more information, please call 304-526-2049
The Employee Assistance Program was developed for employees who want to solve problems at work or at home. It is managed and staffed by trained counselors. Employees can discuss problems about work, loneliness or stress, depression and worry, spiritual conflicts, marital problems, grief and loss, parenting concerns, low self-esteem and alcohol or drug abuse.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it cost to talk with a counselor?
If counseling is covered, insurance is accepted, or your counselor may negotiate an affordable plan of payment. No one is refused for financial reasons.
Is this religious counseling?
The counselors help anyone with problems regardless of religious views. The client and the counselor work together to determine what tools are best for helping to resolve issues.
What goes on in a counseling session?
A CHH counselor is a good listener who understands feelings and problems and can help you find solutions or strategies for coping. Sessions are usually 45-50 minutes long. Clients decide how many sessions are necessary. Most people like to come once a week until they feel satisfied with their progress.
Can clients receive prescriptions for medicine?
While we do not prescribe medication in our office, counselors can refer clients to their doctor or suggest someone who can help them.
If I am unsure about whether counseling is appropriate, can I come for just one session?
Yes. The first session can be used as a time for assessment, and to learn what counseling is about.
