Wellbeing Survey
Shortly before your appointment is due to begin, you’ll receive an SMS with a link to a confidential wellbeing survey. The wellbeing survey assists your consultant with understanding what you need help with and to help both you and the consultant monitor and review your progress while using the EAP service. The survey takes approximately 2-3 minutes to complete and the results are confidentially stored.
