DEALING WITH DISASTER

Employee Assistance Program - Anthem

No matter what causes them, disasters can have a devastating impact on people’s lives. If you’ve witnessed or been affected by a disaster, it’s normal to feel many strong emotions, from stress and fear to grief or anger.

Finding ways to cope with these feelings is an important part of moving forward. Your Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is here to help. With access to tools, resources, and support — all available at no extra cost to you — you’ll find ways to:

  • Process trauma and support someone else who’s

    experienced trauma.

  • Understand and work through different emotions.

  • Cope with disaster anniversaries.

  • Search for housing and relocation options.

* Appointments subject to the availability of a therapist. Online counseling is not appropriate for all kinds of problems. If you are in crisis or have suicidal thoughts, it’s important that you seek help immediately. Please call 988 (National Suicide Prevention Lifeline) and ask for help. If your issue is an emergency, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.

In addition to using a telehealth service, you can receive in-person or virtual care from your own doctor or another healthcare provider in your plan’s network. If you receive care from a doctor or healthcare provider not in your plan’s network, your share of the costs may be higher. You may also receive a bill for any charges not covered by your health plan.
