Fitzgerald Public Schools is proud to announce a commitment to you and your eligible family members in providing you with resources and guidance for personal challenges that are part of life with an Employee Assistance Program. Our provider is CARE’s WorkLife Solutions. Fitzgerald Public Schools committed to employee wellness and we know that when employees and/or their eligible family members are struggling with personal challenges, this can affect their overall mental, emotional and physical well-being.

CARE’s WorkLife Solutions services are available to both you and your eligible family members.

CARE’s WorkLife Solutions is staffed with experienced counselors to help with a variety of issues including:

  • Counseling for you and your immediate family members
  • Childcare, elder care and family support
  • Daily stresses
  • Health and well–being
  • Referrals to providers, specialists and resources to meet specific work, life or care giving needs

Each employee and each eligible family member have free and confidential access to five individual counseling sessions with a master level counselor to provide short-term problem-solving sessions. CARE’s WorkLife Solutions has access to over 50,000 master level counselors to support you at a location that is convenient.

The service is free to Fitzgerald Public School employees and their eligible family members 24 hours a day, seven days a week. By calling toll free 866-888-1555, you can consult with a counselor over the phone or arrange to see a counselor that is convenient for you or your eligible family member face-to-face.

What’s most important is that your confidentiality is assured under state and federal laws.

More information regarding this program will be sent to you within the next couple weeks.

Each of you deserves support when “life happens”. At times when problems are too tough to manage alone, it’s good to know CARE’s WorkLife Solutions is there.
