Employee Assistance Service for Education - EASE
Counseling Services for Individuals
EASE provides confidential counseling, phone consultations, and community referrals for ERUSD employees and their families.
EASE counselors specialize in:
- family troubles
- emotional distress
- drug/alcohol problems
- job anxieties and stress
- grief, loss, and life transitions
EASE is primarily an assessment and brief counseling service that focuses on early support. Counselors work with employees, supervisors, and labor representatives to identify concerns and offer proactive help.
EASE is not a replacement for your health-care plan, but it is a helpful and effective extension of your existing benefits.
