Caring for an Aging
Parent
Are you caring for an aging parent or anticipating being in a caregiving
role in the future? In addition to caregiving duties, many of today's
caregivers are also employed outside of the home. The combined
responsibilities of employment, family and caregiving roles at times may
be overwhelming. Caring for an Aging Parent is an informative program to
provide participants with helpful information to assist them through their
caregiving journey. Knowledge of what information is essential to provide
quality care, how to organize information, how to plan ahead before a
crisis happens, what resources are available within the community, and how
to develop a support system to assist in caregiving duties is
indispensable. Caring for an Aging Parent is also beneficial to
individuals who want to learn what actions they can take now to plan ahead
for their own later years. |

| EAP for Supervisors:
Helping Your Employees Help Themselves
As a manager or supervisor, you could find yourself
in one of these situations:
- An employee with typically acceptable
performance is suddenly and consistently sliding.
- An employee is going through a rough time at
home and you would like to offer some assistance -- you're not sure what
to say
- Your work group has been impacted by the death
of a significant member. How can you support them (and get the work
done).
- An employee has tested positive for a
controlled substance under your post accident testing program. You would
like to offer help, and make sure the person does not pose a safety
risk.
- An employee has made a vague statement to a
co-worker about feeling life is not worth living.
In this program, participants will learn:
- What an EAP is (and isn't)
- How the EAP can support a supervisor or manager
when an employee appears to be troubled
- How to avoid expensive litigation by learning
which terms to use (and which to avoid) when speaking with an employee
- How to stay focused on work performance,
productivity, and the morale of your entire team.
- Practice solving problems through case studies

"Great to
reinforce this benefit and to encourage employees to use their
EAP to help manage their business/family life. I will deal
with performance issues and not avoid them. Good information and
tools."
