Employee Assistance Program
Behavioral Health Systems offers low cost, worksite-based Employee Assistance Programs designed to assist in the early identification and resolution of behavioral or personal concerns of employees and their dependents. Under the program, employees are afforded a confidential assessment, referral and short-term counseling services for behavioral health problems including substance abuse. If necessary, further referrals are made to appropriate providers, treatment resources and facilities if more intensive treatment is warranted. Promotional services such as posters, newsletters and educational seminars are also a part of our program. Employee Assistance Programs have proven to reduce medical benefit costs and increase productivity, reduce absenteeism, reduce the number of accidents and enhance overall employee morale.

The Employee’s Advantage
Today, we live in an era of economic uncertainty, mergers, acquisitions, downsizing, rightsizing, and spin-offs, not to mention the threat of terrorists attacks and wars. And, the stress of coping with everyday, personal responsibilities seems to never go away. Some employees thrive in this environment - but most do not. BHS’s Employee Assistance Programs are designed to provide tangible benefits to employees to enhance health and morale, minimize stress and behavioral problems and promote a productive workplace. These tailor – made, employee centered programs include:
= Early identification and resolution of problems.
= Easy access to a company dedicated Care Coordinator, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and to behavioral healthcare providers nationwide within three days of contacting BHS for assistance.
= Participation by the employee in the development of a plan of treatment, choice of provider, access and service without barriers and hassles.
= Personalized treatment including a face-to-face evaluation and counseling.
= Referrals to community resources and support groups to meet the specific needs of the employee.
