LiUNA Employee Assistance Program

The goal of this program is to provide solution-focused addiction and mental health counselling, education, health promotion and case management services to LiUNA 1059 & LiUNA 1089 members and their dependents 12 years and older. 

Goals & Objectives

The clinicians in this program will act as the initial assessment/referral agency for LiUNA Local 1059 and LiUNA Local 1089 members as well as their family members/significant others.

As a first point of contact, clients will be assessed for appropriate services which may include community treatment, referral to internal programs and/or residential treatment. Clients will have direct access to the organization Community Withdrawal Support, which includes acute/post-acute withdrawal assessment, consultation, planning, relapse prevention, community referrals, education, aftercare services and significant other services. This will be offered through individual and group sessions.
