When you toss a pebble into a pond,
at the point of contact you cause a change;

a change that ripples out in all directions.
And these waves of change are felt
by whatever else they happen to touch. 
This simple image symbolizes both
the vision and responsibility of who we are.

Employee Assistance Program
 
One of the most pressing problems faced by businesses today is what to do about a valued employee who suddenly exhibits a severe downturn in productivity. Symptoms associated with this problem include coming to work late, taking many days off due to “illness,” or being overly depressed or excitable. Any of these symptoms could be an early warning sign of mental health problems, family disturbance or alcohol and drug abuse. ChangePoint offers a multi-cultural and multi-lingual (English, Spanish and Russian) Employee Assistance Program (EAP) to help in problem identification and resolution. The EAP is implemented by certified, experienced counselors, who work with clients in groups, family and individual sessions
Key Elements of the Employee Assistance Program
Treatment. The treatment approach for substance abuse is founded on evidence-based studies and combines cognitive behavioral treatment with a strong emphasis on motivational interviewing. All treatment is culturally competent and multi-lingual (English, Spanish and Russian). A key element of the treatment approach is to integrate individual therapy with family therapies.
Counseling. Treatment includes group sessions as well as individual counseling as required on a case by case basis/family situation. The program offers alcohol and drug education and treatment, tobacco cessation and positive cultural identification. Special importance is placed on skill building aimed at preventing future substance abuse. Skill building (personal, social and cultural) therapies focus on relapse prevention and include the understanding and identification of primary risk factors related to substance abuse and its impact on the client, employment, family and the community.
Case Management. Treatment includes case management and referrals to mental health counseling, mutual help groups, psychiatric care and medical care as needed. Progress reports are provided to referring employers including certification that clients have successfully completed the ChangePoint treatment program.
