James has been working
from home six months and is feeling increasingly isolated and depressed.
He takes a short digital assessment and receives a recommendation for an online depression course.
After completing the course, James opts in to a coaching experience through the Emotional Well-being Resources program. He and his coach begin meeting weekly.
Realizing James could use additional support, his coach
refers him to an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) associate, who connects James
to a local therapist.
This leads to a psychiatrist
referral and James is prescribed antidepressants. Working together, James and his care team move closer to achieving his behavioral health goals and a brighter outlook on life.
