			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An employee&#8217;s psychological health can never be neglected in a broad-based model of Corporate Wellness Programs. Originating out of a need for alcohol abuse interventions in the workplace, today&#8217;s employee assistance programs (EAP) encompass assessment and counseling for substance abuse and dependency, stress related disorders, family conflicts and other personal issues.</p>
<p>Evidence of the need for such programs is wide spread. In a national survey conducted by the Northwestern Life Insurance Company (1992) 46% of workers reported that their job was very stressful, 34% thought about quitting their jobs because of workplace stress, and 14% did leave their job because of stress. Alcohol and substance abuse problems as well as issues of workplace violence and harassment are common areas of concern. For many the only viable treatment solution is the Corporate Wellness Program.  Exemplary Corporate Wellness Programs will include:</p>
<p>• Individualized assessment of employee concerns<br />
• Assistance in treatment choice<br />
• Emphasis on prevention as well as treatment<br />
• Individual and family counseling programs<br />
• Treatment for addictions:<br />
Drugs<br />
Alcohol<br />
Gambling<br />
• Crisis intervention programs<br />
• Stress management<br />
• Ongoing support groups<br />
• Management and employee training to identify individuals at risk.<br />
• After treatment care</p>
