Continuing with Counselling Beyond EFAP Sessions
Q: What happens if someone needs more counselling beyond the EFAP’s sessions?
A: If additional counselling is needed, clients can continue with their EFAP counsellor on a fee-for-service basis.
Sarah benefits greatly from her grief counselling sessions through the EFAP. When her 10 free sessions are completed, she feels she still needs ongoing support. Her counsellor offers to continue working with her on a fee-for-service basis, ensuring continuity in Sarah’s care.
While the EFAP does not reimburse for these additional sessions, Sarah knows that the family’s extended healthcare benefits will help cover the costs. She feels reassured that she doesn’t have to start over with a new counsellor and can continue building on the progress she’s already made.
