A New Solution to a Growing Epidemic:
First Sun EAP has witnessed the transformation of mental and emotional assistance for employees for decades and, since the onset of the pandemic, has seen first-hand the impact of the rise in mental illness and decline in well-being. There is clear evidence for the need and value of organizations investing in substantial support for employees around stress, anxiety and depression. Additionally, the national rise in substance misuse is impacting every business.
According to a Gallop Poll, close to half of U.S. adults, 46%, have dealt with substance use problems in their family. And that was pre-COVID-19. Substance Misuse amongst employees has accelerated to epidemic levels. And, the missing link in the well-being of employees, is the impact of loved ones at home who are struggling. This trend is a silent killer of productivity, and more importantly, people.
First Sun and youturn intend to address this crisis by combining youturn’s evidence-based educational content with First Sun’s extensive clinical and workplace expertise.
“An increasing number of employees struggling with mental health challenges are reaching out to First Sun for help,” said Maria Lund. “It is our goal to make our broad array of services accessible to everyone. We can now expand our convenient well-being solutions to include youturn’s powerful suite of offerings.”
