Employee Assistance Program Helpline
Our Employee Assistance Program provides a confidential helpline for employees seeking support and resources. Please note that the helpline is not available 24 hours a day, and messages may not be reviewed immediately.
If you are experiencing a mental health crisis or emergency, please contact 911, 988, or your local emergency services for immediate assistance.
Free Mental Health Self-Assessment
If you are experiencing stress, burnout, anxiety, or low mood, you may find it helpful to complete a brief confidential self-assessment. These screening tools can help you better understand how you’re feeling and identify whether additional support may be helpful.
Resources provided by Avista Senior Living's A.S.K. Program
Social
Social wellness involves building healthy, nurturing, and supportive relationships, as well as fostering a genuine connection with those around you.
Physical
Physical wellness promotes proper care of our bodies for optimal health and functioning. Physical wellness encourages the balance of physical activity, nutrition, and sleep to keep your body in top condition.
Vocational
Career wellness helps us to prepare for work in which we will gain personal satisfaction and find enrichment in our life. We may lack the motivation to do the same tasks each day at our jobs and need new ways to excite us about our work.
Emotional
Emotional wellness is the ability to successfully handle life's stresses and adapt to difficult times. Lack of emotional wellness can impact your everyday life.
Financial
Financial wellness involves the process of learning how to successfully manage financial expenses. Financial stress is repeatedly found to be a common source of stress, anxiety, and fear for the majority of adults.
Spiritual
Spiritual wellness allows us to be in tune with our spiritual selves. Regardless of whether you believe in a particular religious faith, there is always something to learn about how you see yourself in the world and impact you can make.
Environmental
Environmental wellness refers to what surrounds you each day in your home, work, or neighborhood, and how these elements can affect your health.
Mental
Intellectual wellness encourages us to engage in creative and mentally stimulating activities. Intellectual wellness can be developed through academics, cultural involvement, community involvement, and personal hobbies.
Receive Support
Whether you need Advice, Support, or Knowledge as you strive for a balance in these areas, we want to provide you the resources needed for a well-rounded, healthy lifestyle.
