Almost all employers give employees access to mental health care through an EAP program. However, not all challenges in life are mental health problems. We may be worried, but well. Sometimes we may be grieving, bereft of hope or struggling to connect with a sense of purpose. Those are some situations where a board-certified spiritual care specialist from The Company Chaplain can help one through a difficult time and regain one’s productivity.
Our spiritual care is complementary to mental health care. We work with mental health and medical providers every day in the hospital, and are part of the interdisciplinary care of the patients in most hospitals in the country. So adding spiritual care to the mental health and behavioral health benefits you offer through your EAP will catch you up on one of the best practices in healthcare.
Board certified chaplains do not provide mental health care, they provide compassionate emotional and spiritual support–to help clients find new hope, for example, and connect to that which is most meaningful to them. And published data shows that 25% of the population who seek support actually seek out a spiritual care provider, demonstrating the existing demand for these services.
Why is spiritual care so in demand? One Blue Cross affiliate in New England asked their members why they were not using their preventive health care benefits, and instead using expensive emergency care instead. Members told them they do not trust the medical system. Who did they say they trust? Their church. Again, this is pointing to the need to add spiritual care to your package of benefits.
Until now, these clinically-trained spiritual care providers were only available within the health care system. The Company Chaplain makes them available to your employees, conveniently and at very competitive rates. This is a great way to address the limited availability of providers through EAP programs too. We add a whole new source of trusted providers to support your team!
