Employee Assistance Service for Education [EASE]

Full- and part-time employees as well as their family members are eligible for EASE services so long as their school district contracts with the program. The EASE counselor, licensed by the State of California as a marriage and family counselor or social worker will provide up to six counseling and problem solving services per occurrence as well as appropriate referrals to community resources.

An important function of employee assistance is supervisory consultation. When a supervisor is unsure as to the best response to a problem or series of problems arising from one or more of his/her employees, consultation with a trained professional listener can be invaluable. Supervisors call and discuss a wide range of concerns including deterioration in performance, changes in attitude and appearance, absenteeism and tardiness, and an increase in accidents.

All meetings and consultations with EASE counselors are strictly confidential, in accordance with the law and sound ethical practice. The only exceptions to confidentiality are those mandated by California law such as child abuse reporting or danger warnings.
