Tom’s colleague, Jenna, was feeling overwhelmed trying to balance her demanding schedule on set with responsibilities at home. She confided in Tom, who suggested she look into the Employee and Family Assistance Program (EFAP), knowing it offered work-life support services that could help.
“Our EFAP provides more than just counseling,” Tom explained. “They have work-life services to help with things like financial coaching, career counseling, and even resources for eldercare or childcare support.”
He encouraged Jenna to call the EFAP at 1-800-667-0993, where she’d be connected with a professional who could assess her needs and guide her to the right resources. Tom assured her that the program was confidential and available to both her and her family members. Jenna felt a weight lifted, knowing she could access support that would help her manage her responsibilities without sacrificing her well-being.
For Tom, it was rewarding to know that the union’s benefits extended beyond health to truly support members in achieving a balanced life, both on and off set.
