Online group counselling for Dal Faculty and Staff

Posted by Human Resources on July 20, 2020 in Human Resources

You might not be aware that our Employee and Family Assistance Program (EFAP) offers online group counselling on the following topics:

- anxiety
- communication skills for managing relationships
- day-to-day parenting of school-aged children

Online Group Counselling is a form of therapy where multiple participants discuss their similar issue(s) with a counsellor in a private and secure online setting. Group interactions allow participants to build relationships, receive feedback on how to meet goals and overcome challenges, and gain encouragement from others.​

Why participate in Online Group Counselling:

• Research shows that group counselling creates a positive environment for learning and behaviour change

• Immediate help from a counsellor, and sharing and support from like-participants

• Freedom to confidentially attend sessions via any digital platform (personal computer, tablet, smartphone)

• Simple session initiation with no software to install

• Privacy with secure data transmission and storage

• Conveniently available via workhealthlife.com (Search for Dalhousie University on the landing page and select the purple "Get started online" button to complete the registration process)

No one at Dalhousie will know you have accessed this or any other EFAP service. There is no cost to you.
