Go. Run. Sprint!  How San Francisco Health Service System adapted and expanded its EAP in the midst of a challenging 2020.

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, racial and social injustice, and natural disasters, San Francisco Health Service System recognized the need to quickly expand access to mental health services, particularly to frontline responders. Carrie Beshears, Well-Being Manager at San Francisco Health Service System, and Deb LaManna, Account Manager at ComPsych, and Terri Creasey, Team Lead at ComPsych, share in detail the implementation of SFHSS’ new mobile app for first responders and early results of their expanded EAP, including challenges encountered and employee reactions to the program.

This event is part of CPR’s Fall 2020 Webinar Series: Timely Topics with Innovative Purchasers.
