Supporting Child and Family Wellbeing: Pediatric Assessment, Short-Term Counseling and Care Coach Support

Employee wellbeing research highlights the impact of child and family support: 67% of working adults experience parental and caregiver burnout, which results in decreased productivity and other adverse effects in the workplace. By providing parents with support for managing their children’s mental health and behavioral needs, employers can demonstrate true empathy while delivering essential practical help.?

From pediatric assessments to short-term counseling and coaching support, Workplace Options' Child and Family Wellbeing Program drives seamless support for the wellbeing and resilience of the entire family.?

Expert and emphatic providers are key to Workplace Options’ new Child and Family Wellbeing program because holistic, human-centered care is critical to families everywhere.

Wellbeing Ambassadors Cultivate a Culture of Caring

Creating a sustainable culture of care takes time, consistent effort and adaptive mindsets. On their own, employees can only do so much to move the needle if not actively empowered by the employer. Wellbeing must be integrated into an organization starting with leadership – mental health must be prioritized at the C-suite.

"When employees see the effort that’s being put into making sure that this program is customized to their specific environment, that’s when they really start to believe in the program and the positive, tangible benefit it can have—and that’s when they want to get involved. They want to be a part of that culture change."

– David Stace , Workplace Options ' Director of Clinical Policy and Best Practice
