The second quarter continues with the Deer Oaks Employee Assistance Program (or EAP) Did You Know? Campaign. This campaign is designed to help employees learn more about services available to help navigate work-life challenges. During this quarter, Deer Oaks focuses on the importance of confidentiality when assisting employees to assess needs and connect to resources. Visit the Health and Wellness portal page to learn more about EAP services and the importance of confidentiality of services.

The April EAP newsletters are now available on the Health and Wellness portal page for employees and supervisors to view. You can also view newsletters from previous months to learn additional information about managing your health, family and work life.
