You Are Not Alone: Methodist Has Emotional Support Resources for Employees

We know these are extraordinary times with the challenges of life seemingly being compounded by the stress COVID-19 has brought. Words hardly convey how grateful we are to every Methodist employee, from the staff on the front lines to those behind the scenes. Together, we are making a difference in our community when it needs us most.

The Best Care Employee Assistance Program (EAP) and the Methodist Hospital Community Counseling Program (CCP) are joining forces to support Methodist employees and dependent family members during this stressful time. It’s normal to be experiencing feelings of fear, depression, anxiety and grief. But you are not alone. EAP and CCP professional counselors are one phone call away to provide the support you are looking for. This support is confidential and available immediately or by appointment. To access a professional counselor for a confidential session or consultation, contact:

On-site support

Professional counselors are also available to provide on-site group and/or individual support for impacted employees.
