"My highest recommendation for Tri-County Human Services, Inc. is that, way back in the day, when mostly just a few private agencies provided assessment, detox, treatment and rehab for people afflicted with drug/alcohol addiction, they opened the most comprehensive, science-based center in Central Florida as a non-profit that was affordable to anyone seeking assistance. Since the advent of Obamacare, when insurance companies had to offer addiction coverage, centers have sprung up everywhere, offering bare bones to luxury "Betty Ford" treatment, but to my knowledge, none of them offer the kind of program that takes you from the streets as an addict and returns you to your community as a sober, productive, family oriented citizen. None. Quietly, without huge advertising expenditures or fanfare, Tri-County Human Services, Inc., through their leadership of vision and truly dedicated staff, have done more to fight addiction in Central Florida than
most of the others combined. Kudos!"

Work related stress can and do occur in many different forms. . . Supervisory imposed stress, Time stressors, Physical plant stressors, and self imposed stress are but a few of work-related stress issues that are in the work place.
Assisting our associates in dealing with these stressors occurs in many different strategies and mechanisms. By engaging in an employee assisted program (EAP) that is not monitored by management is a key element in assisting associates to assure autonomy and confidentiality. EAP policy sets program qualifications, participation and funding of the program.
Experience tells us that associates identify acute stress issues with chronic environmental, behavioral, or mechanical issues. Therefore, having available immediate EAP assistance will address acute displayed stress systems. We also know that the EAP program can and will refer a number of associates to formal counseling or training to address an identified chronic stress issue. Training supervisors on cultural issues, associate behaviors, communication of expectations and proper follow up with the associate helps minimize everyday stressors.
Stress in the workplace is not always a bad thing. Stress is a driver for achieving performance and self worth. However, it should be a companies mission to keep stress manageable in the workplace to allow associates to achieve all that they are capable of achieving each day.

Healthcare has become a staple in the industry in order to maintain and attract qualified candidates. As a not for profit agency it is very difficult to maintain competitiveness with like agencies in the healthcare field. We have found that competitive benefits are viewed by employees and potential employees as the decision maker when salaried offers are similar.
