Employees Assistance Program

 

To Listen: Talking about a difficult situation is often the best way to relief and ofen open doors to concrete actions that could help ease or overcome a problem.

To inform: The program will inform on different problems and procedures and offer different approaches (especially in alcoholism and drugs, in psychological, marital, physical, legal, familial, financial problems and any other kind of addiction and gambling).

To secure: In relation with a decision or behavior that you may have chosen.

To refer: The program will suggest union ressources, communal, therapeutic or professional ressources that will assure the best service you are in right to expect.

To help: Assistance that can make the difference and help you cope with your problem, but let's not forget that the EAP representatives are resource persons, and not professionals. They are workers just like you, who sometimes have to face difficult situations related to their work, their social or familial life. They will do their best within the limits of their capacity.

The team:

EAP Coordinators are present in every work location to assist members of the Local Lodge 1751 when required. They offer personalized services and are capable to deal with any urgent situation. The EAP team is directed by Gilles Filion. All cases are handled in total confidentiality.

Involved in the Employee Assistance Program since 1997, Gilles Filion was given different training courses reserved for social delegates, offered by the Quebec Federation of Labour (FTQ) and the IAM –William Winpisinger Education Centre in Placid Harbor, Maryland.

Initiated to the SOLVE program in 2005, Gilles is now Director of education and one of the resource persons across Canada.

Since 1989, Gilles is dealing with problems related to alcoholism and drug addiction. His long experience with suicide prevention and his qualifications as Labour Assistance Professional (LAP) makes him the best person for counselling his assistant coordinators.

Thank you for your support.
