‘Tis the season for parties, shopping, decorating, baking, entertaining, cooking and spending time with family and friends. For many people, it’s also a season for stress. But it doesn’t have to be. Our Employee Assistance Program (EAP) offers tips to help you reduce stress and enjoy the holidays.
You can explore the EAP website for articles and tips on the largest sources of holiday stress: holiday spending, dealing with family, managing your health, balancing work and more.
