Find your balance.

Your well-being, productiveness and happiness depend on balancing your life at home and your life at work. It's difficult to be on task in the office or on the job if you're worried about problems at home; and you can't devote sufficient time to yourself and your family if you're feeling overwhelmed by the demands of your job.

Personal problems can occur unexpectedly, and unnecessary worrying can affect your health and your professional life. Ease the stress of any uncomfortable situation by calling and speaking with Master's level consultants when you or your family members need confidential** information to:

• Locate childcare and eldercare services and obtain matches to the appropriate provider based on your (or your family's) preferences and criteria (the consultant will even comfirm space availability).
• Speak with financial experts by phone regarding issues such as budgeting, controlling debt, teaching children to manage money, investing for college and preparing for retirement.
• Work through complex, sensitive issues such as personal or work relationships, depression and substance abuse
• Get advice on how to deal with a conflict between you and a co-worker.
• Get a referral to a local attorney for a free, 30-minute in-person or telephonic legal consultation. You'll have access to an attorney for state-specific legal information and services. (If you decide to retain the attorney, you may be eligible to receive a 25% discount on additional services.)
