The Gains of Listening: Perspectives on Counselling at Work

Looks at the rise of counselling at work, otherwise known as employee assistance programs (EAPs), and promotes the view that EAPs contribute to stress reduction and mental health enhancement. Discusses reasons employers should pay for employees' counselling, emerging trends, and the kinds of personal problems people encounter in association with the workplace as well as treatments that alleviate workers' stress or resolve their dilemmas, including substance abuse, post traumatic stress, organizational stress, family and relationship problems, debt and financial dilemmas, and mental health and illness concerns.
