Nxtbook Media is pleased to share with you a benefit to employees and their families known as the Employee Assistance Program (EAP).
At one time or another we have all faced crises in our lives, creating stress, which sometimes leads to difficulties in performing our jobs. We believe that these problems can be successfully treated and resolved if they are identified early and help is easily available. This is true whether the problems are physical illness, marriage and family pressures, parent-child conflicts, drinking or drug abuse, legal or financial difficulties and many other stressful situations and problems we encounter. Unfortunately, many people who need help don’t know where or who to turn to or are embarrassed or deny that a problem exists.
The Employee Assistance Program is available on a strictly confidential and volunteer basis, with no threat to your job, promotional opportunities or reputation. Nxtbook Media has contracted Uprise Health to provide this service to you and your family by simply calling their WorkLife Intake Line at (800) 395-1616 between 9:00 am until 8:00 pm EST. Tell the Coordinator you are an employee of Nxtbook Media and you wish to arrange an appointment using your EAP benefits. This meeting will be strictly confidential and no contact will be made to Nxtbook Media.
Each family member is entitled to 6 in-person counseling visits per calendar year, along with unlimited telephonic counseling services, at no cost to you. If you wish to continue counseling after you have used all six in-person visits you may do so and Uprise Health will obtain authorization from your health insurance carrier as a contracted provider. Copays, co-insurance, and/or deductibles are determined by the health insurance plan and specific information about coverage levels for ongoing counseling services can be obtained from Human Resources.
The purpose of this program is to help people find the resources for solving personal problems as early as possible to keep human and financial losses at a minimum. By ignoring problems they can become worse, which in turn can jeopardize our jobs and families. For these reasons, Nxtbook Media is supporting the Employee Assistance Program with the hope that this program can be a resource for you should the need arise.
