Along the maze of life, everyone experiences personal, family or work-related “road blocks” now and then.  But sometimes these ordinary everyday challenges, if not dealt with, can grow into bigger concerns—concerns that may overwhelm and distract you from doing your job or being there for your family.

Some people have the unhealthy notion that these personal issues are something to be ashamed of, bottled up, toughed out or even ignored. But doing nothing can be a step in the wrong direction and send you down an unhealthy path. Your well-being, happiness and ability to be productive depend on a balance between your life at home and at work. It’s difficult to be on task on the job if you are worried about troubles at home; and you can’t be there for your family if you are overwhelmed with other demands.

DTE Energy has teamed with Henry Ford Health System to bring you WellLife Employee Assistance Program—a comprehensive counseling and referral program aimed at helping you and your household members manage life’s challenges so you can succeed by maximizing your health and effectiveness at work and home.

What you should know about WellLife EAP:
