Homewood, your Professional Assistance Provider (PAP) is introducing Stress Solutions – A new Life Smart coaching service

Designed through prevalence and growing necessity, and now paired with recent professional and personal complexities surrounding COVID-19, the resiliency and limits of today’s diverse and multigenerational workforce have demonstrated the need for additional support. A recent analysis revealed that a significant percentage of PAP’s usage and presenting issues are stress related. During intake processes, members are often hesitant or challenged to identify and prioritize what their concerns are. They may experience more than one concern and often note stress as a reason for requesting support.

Stress Solutions consists of one to three telephonic sessions. Sessions include but are not limited to discussions surrounding psychoeducation, information about the cognitive aspects of stress, and connections between thoughts and feelings. Additionally, sessions will encompass coaching on stress management, lifestyle, priority management and tools such as meditation and relaxation techniques. In addition to coaching supported by a registered counselor or clinician with specialized expertise in stress, members will receive a letter of resources with information specific to their source or primary stress indication. Members will also receive a welcome booklet providing an overview of stress issues and stress management techniques.

Members can access your Professional Assistance Provider, Homewood, by phoning (709) 754-3007 or 1-800-663-1142.
