On January 2nd, the new Counselor Chat<\/em> will go live. Once you’ve logged into the members section of the site, you will now be able to chat with a clinical counselor.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The Chat is available during regular business hours (9-5) based on counselor availability and “chat volume.” Should all the counselors be busy, you can leave a message in the Chat field and they’ll get back to you.<\/p>\n

Web Access Code Confirmation Required<\/strong><\/p>\n


\nIf you already set up your Capital EAP web account in the past, you will be asked to confirm your organization’s Web Access Code<\/strong> when you log back in. This is due to new web security measures in place to protect your privacy. Like before, you’ll only need to do this the first time you log into the new site. If you don’t know your Web Access Code but have an account, you can easily request the code through the website.

By Drew W. Edwards, Ed.D., MS<\/p>\n

Every holiday season, people have to deal with the increased pressures and stress that the holidays place upon most of us. Whether we’re traveling to be with family or doing our last-minute gift buying, most people feel under pressure during the holidays.<\/p>\n

As you might suspect, the holiday season then becomes one of the most dangerous times of the year for alcohol-related accidents and death. There are several reasons for this:

\"\" For most people, the holiday season is a time of reflection, tradition, and joy. For some, the holiday season brings ever rising levels of panic, stress and even depression. Since we are all experiencing very similar situations – visits from family, additional financial strain, traffic, shopping, work deadlines, travel and even the distractions of nostalgia – why is there such a broad range of reactions and emotional responses from one person to another?<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

What is for certain is that whatever holiday stressor we’re experiencing, that stressor itself has little to do with our reaction. Our reactions are much more about how we naturally cope with any kind of stressor, not just holiday stress. If our tendency is to get angry in gridlocked traffic, it’s likely we’ll get angry during holiday traffic as well. Stressful family visits are likely stressful no matter when they occur. And people that simply chuckle at other rude people rather than getting angry themselves, are usually that way year around.
