Supporting Teacher Wellbeing with Compassionate Mental Health Through EAP

Helping school teachers thrive personally and professionally with confidential, faith-based mental health support funded by your school.

Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) provide your teaching staff free access to professional mental health services. Your school covers the cost, offering confidential counseling for workplace and personal challenges.

  • Minimum 3 professional counseling sessions per year funded by your school

  • Additional government-subsidized sessions available

  • Support for workplace stress, family issues, life direction, and spiritual concerns

  • Complete confidentiality with no reporting to school management

Our Faith-Centered Approach

We honor both the professional calling and personal faith of Christian educators. Our registered psychologists and spiritual counselors blend biblical wisdom with evidence-based therapy.

  • Licensed psychologists providing professional counseling

  • Spiritual counseling and prayer support on request

  • Flexible telehealth options nationwide

  • 80-minute initial sessions followed by 50-minute ongoing appointments

Complete Confidentiality Guaranteed

Teachers often worry about privacy. We strictly adhere to professional ethics—nothing discussed in sessions is shared with employers unless legally required.

Accessing EAP support is a sign of strength and wisdom, not weakness.

FAQs

  • EAP is a wellbeing service contracted by your school to provide confidential psychological support. It includes a pre-agreed number of sessions (usually at least three) with registered psychologists or counselors to help with workplace stress, personal challenges, family issues, or spiritual guidance.

  • You can book sessions either in person at Life to the Full’s office or via telehealth, making support accessible no matter where you are in Australia.

  • Supporting teacher wellbeing through EAP helps reduce absenteeism, improve staff morale, and increase productivity. Research suggests that for every dollar spent, schools can save around $2.20 in costs related to leave and lost productivity.

  • Life to the Full upholds a strict code of ethics to protect staff privacy. Although the school funds the sessions, nothing discussed in counseling is shared with school management unless there is a serious legal concern, such as risk of self-harm.
