About Your Programme
At times we feel that it takes all we’ve got to merely stay alive, let alone thrive. At LifeAssist we have the expertise to help you to cope when the going gets tough. We also have the expertise to toughen you up and get you going!
We engage with our clients telephonically, face-to-face and electronically (through this Website) to address work-related and personal issues.
You, as an employee of the company, your spouse or adult life-partner(s), children* who are aged 13 years and older (natural, fostered or adopted), your relatives**, and domestic worker/helpers who are employed by you.
*Children must be financially dependent on the employee.
** Relatives and domestic worker/helpers must be financially dependent on the employee and reside in the same household. Household is defined the same physical address as the employee.
Call our National Support Centre any time day or night. We will be available to give you information on the EAP, activate emergency trauma assistance, schedule face-to-face counselling and put you in touch with experts in physical, mental and emotional health, diet, fitness, finance and law.
At LifeAssist we love to engage personally face-to-face with individuals, families and groups at the workplace.
When you call, tell us what it is you need and we will arrange for you to see the best person for the job in an appropriate place, at a convenient time.
In the event of a critical incident that occur in the line of duty/at the workplace, LifeAssist can help by providing crisis containment and debriefing. Suitability for onsite response will be determined by unique circumstances of each event. This can be initiated by an onsite line manager or Health and Safety Officer.
Trauma counselling for individuals can be provided within 24 – 72 hours of the incident (initiated by the individual – i.e. self-referral).
At LifeAssist we keep a finger on the pulse of the EAP, using the data generated from all levels of interaction with our clients to identify trends and highlight needs. This information is invaluable when we design training programmes in a variety of formats.
Can you be ensured of confidentiality? Absolutely! LifeAssist is bound by professional ethics around confidentiality. The exception is when we are legally obligated to disclose to relevant law enforcement authorities and persons being threatened.

Regular medical checkups: Your key to a healthy life
We are consistently inundated with messages about the importance of a healthy diet and exercise, and rightfully so. These are fundamental pillars of well-being.
However, we often overlook the vital role of regular medical checkups in maintaining good health.
