How much does all this cost?
There is no cost to you or your family. Your employer pays for the EAP services provided by FGIworld. If long-term or specialized care is required, your professional advisor will help you with a referral to an affordable community resource. At this point, you would be responsible for any fees that your benefits plan or provincial health insurance would not cover.
Is the service really confidential?
Yes. Absolutely! We never share information with anyone outside of FGIworld without an individual's informed, voluntary and written consent, with the exceptions listed below.* Unless you tell them, no one at your workplace will even know that you have contacted the EAP.
*Understandably, certain exceptions apply when information must be provided to others, whether or not consent is given - such as when a person appears to pose a threat of serious injury to themselves or others. Also, FGIworld professionals are legally required to report suspicion of child abuse and to disclose information required by law (e.g. a court order).
Care you can count on.
If you have a concern, we want to help. So we've made sure that getting help from your EAP couldn't be easier. Day or night, 365 days a year, just pick up the phone and call the toll-free line listed on this brochure. When you call we will discuss your needs confidential and then match you with an expert trained to help with your specific type of question or concern. This may be an FGIworld counsellor in your community, a specially trained telephone counsellor, or a specialist in the area in which you require assistance. In critical situations where immediate help is required, crisis counselling can be provided. FGIworld's professionals can help you and new approaches to troublesome personal or work-related concerns. Our goal is to help you and your family develop a practical plan - one that can have a positive impact on your emotional health and your general well-being.
