Welcome to Healthy Exchange ...your quarterly online newsletter from Employee Assistance Service (EAS), your Employee Assistance Program. Each issue provides information to help you better deal with personal, family or work-related concerns.
Your EAP is Here to Help
If you’re faced with a problem that seems too hard to solve on your own, your EAP can help you with free, confidential counseling, information or referrals. For more information or to schedule an appointment call: 1-800-338-9277.
“Catch” your child being good. A steady diet of disapproval, nagging and criticism does not teach your child to improve. Instead, focus your comments on what is done and what is done well, rather than on what is done poorly or not at all.
COUPLE CARE
Seek help early if you are experiencing marital difficulties. Half of all marriages that do end, do so in the first seven years, yet the average couple waits six years before seeking help for marital problems. This means the average couple lives with unhappiness for far too long.
BETTER TIME MANAGEMENT
Refrain from doing many things at once because you think you’re saving time. What actually happens when you do several things at once is that nothing gets your full attention, there’s greater potential for error, and you probably spend more time in the long run because you weren’t totally focused on what you were doing. Instead, do one thing at a time.
