Back to School & August EAP Newsletter

August 4, 2022

Starting a new school year is a time of adjustment for everyone in the family — children and parents alike. As the whole family makes the transition from a care-free summer lifestyle into the more regimented and scheduled back-to-school mode, a variety of stressors reemerge to plague both children and parents.  Planning ahead, creating consistent routines and a strong sense of family communication will help make the transition as smooth as possible for everyone.

Deer Oaks EAP provides information on a variety of topics such as stress management, health and wellness that can help employees to invest in themselves. These services can be easily accessed 24/7, offering you around-the-clock assistance for all of life’s challenges throughout the year.

In this month’s EAP Newsletter, the following topics are discussed:

  • Online Seminar: Self Care: Better Care of Yourself
    • Identify the ways to implement self-care as a part of your schedule, and learn the art of slowing down.
