A Strategic Partner in Staff Wellbeing
Our EAP services are designed to support workplaces of all kinds. We integrate professional, evidence-based psychology with a compassionate approach to provide holistic care that genuinely supports your team. For organisations where it's valued, we can also incorporate a faith-informed perspective.
Confidential Support for Your Employees
We provide a safe, independent space for staff to address issues like stress, conflict, or family difficulties. All sessions are strictly confidential, ensuring employees feel secure in seeking the help they need.
A Wise Investment in Your Organisation
Supporting staff wellbeing is not just an act of care; it's a sound financial decision. Studies show that for every $1 invested in an EAP, workplaces can save approximately $2.20 through reduced staff leave and increased productivity.
Tailored Support for Your Workplace Culture
We understand that every organisation is unique. Our EAP is tailored to support your team within your specific workplace culture, providing relevant and empathetic care that aligns with your company's values and mission.

FAQs
-
An Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is a service offered by workplaces to support the overall well-being of their staff. It typically involves a workplace, such as a Christian school, contracting a third-party organisation like Life to the Full to provide a pre-agreed number of confidential psychological or counselling sessions for their employees. This business-to-business (B2B) approach helps organisations invest in the health and resilience of their team.
-
EAP counselling can help staff navigate a wide range of challenges, including workplace-related issues such as conflict between staff or workplace stress. It also covers personal difficulties, such as relational problems at home, life direction, or, in Life to the Full's context, spiritual direction. The service is designed to support employees whether the issue is related to their job or their personal life.
-
Yes, strict confidentiality is a cornerstone of EAP services provided by Life to the Full. All therapeutic work adheres to a very strict code of ethics, meaning that details of sessions are not reported back to school management. The only exceptions are in cases of self-harm or illegal activity. This commitment to confidentiality is crucial to ensure staff feel safe and unstigmatised when seeking help.
-
Generally, schools commit to providing at least three sessions per staff member as a baseline, though some may offer more depending on their allocation. A significant benefit is that if an employee exhausts their EAP-provided sessions, they can then access a further 10 sessions through government subsidies, if they are seeing a psychologist. This combined approach can provide substantial ongoing support, potentially equating to nearly one session per month.
