More about CBT
CBT is a time-limited, problem-focused, and goal-oriented form of therapy. It looks at how the way we think about things can affect our feelings and behaviours. CBT helps us learn how to change negative cycles of thoughts and behaviours so we can function better in order to improve our quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions
An Employee and Family Assistance Program (EFAP), Employee Assistance Program (EAP), or Member Assistance Program (MAP) provides employees, union members and their eligible family members with access to confidential services to help individuals resolve personal, family or work-related concerns. The EFAP/EAP/MAP services are provided by Family Services Employee Assistance Programs (FSEAP) and are paid for by sponsoring employers, unions or associations. There is no cost to eligible employees, union members, or family members.
Eligibility is determined by the organization funding the benefit. Generally, the EFAP is available to eligible employees and their immediate family members, including a cohabiting partner and dependent children. Eligible individual may also bring other people to their sessions. For more information about eligibility criteria and the benefits specific to your organization, just give us a call.
When you call, an Intake specialist will speak with you about your particular situation, your needs and preferences, and will conduct a brief risk assessment, to help determine the best support to help resolve the issue you are facing. You'll also be asked some questions to confirm that you are eligible to access the service. If you are in crisis, you will be provided immediate help.
The nature of the program's counselling service is short-term and not for the treatment of serious or chronic emotional, psychiatric, or behavioural concerns. On average, most people use 3-5 sessions for each issue they seek assistance with.
In cases where the presenting issue and/or desired goals require longer-term or specialized treatment, our counsellors will promptly identify resources outside of the program to assist you. Your counsellor will let you know of any fees associated with those resources.
The EFAP offers flexible appointment times for counselling, including day, evening, and weekend appointments (where available). Work/life services are generally offered over the phone during regular business hours. In-person counselling appointments are typically offered within 3—5 days of your call.
You may be covered by the Extended Health Benefits Plan offered by your employer or union for a portion of the funding of some psychological and clinical counselling services. Please contact your Human Resources Department or your benefits plan office for more details.
The goal is to provide our clients with effective, supportive services. If you are not comfortable or satisfied with your counsellor for any reason, call the 1-800 line and you will be assigned a different counsellor.
Accessing the service is easy, just give us a call.
Confidentiality
Confidentiality is an important part of the bond of trust between FSEAP and you. Ensuring your privacy and confidentiality is of the utmost importance to FSEAP and is central in the design of our EFAP services.
Confidentiality means:
-
All communication between you and your EAP counsellor/consultant is private within the limits of the law.*
-
Employees from the same organization are never scheduled back-to-back.
-
No one from your workplace or private life will be given verbal or written confirmation of your attendance at counselling.
-
Demographical and program utilization statistics shared with your employer or union are presented in a general, non-identifying way about the employee group as a whole, never identifying individuals.
-
Case files are stored in a secure location and are not released to anyone without written consent or under court order.
You can choose to sign a written consent giving permission for your counsellor to communicate with other health care providers, and/or other third parties; you may choose to do this in situations where it is in your best interest to involve them in supporting a plan for your treatment.
Information Collected During Service Delivery
The information our EFAP counsellors collect during the initial call and throughout the service process is used to:
-
Ensure we can contact you;
-
Better understand your service needs;
-
Maintain accountability as a service provider;
-
Ensure that safety, legal and ethical standards are met; and
-
Assess the quality of our services.
FSEAP's Legal Obligations*
Under Provincial and Canadian Law, confidentiality is limited in instances where it is determined that you may present risk of harm to yourself and/or others, by a court order or through some other specific segments of legislation (for example, if it is determined that a child may be in need of protection). In those circumstances, your counsellor may have to report to the appropriate parties or authorities as required by law or ethics.
EFAP counsellors and consultants do not release any information without prior written consent except to protect life and when ordered to do so by a court of law.
