The Employee and Family Assistance Program<\/a> (EFAP) has recently rebranded from the LifeWorks platform to TELUS Health. The brand change does not impact the services offered for York University employees (staff and faculty).<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Employees who currently use EFAP will continue to have access to all the features, tools and services. There is no change to any functionality, including login method and password.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EFAP is a confidential and voluntary support service to help all York University employees with issues related to personal life and other concerns. If the challenge is interpersonal, such as child\/elder care, seeking support for a personal medical condition, or adjusting to job or personal responsibilities, EFAP can be a helpful service to address these challenges through a full range of support services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All staff, faculty and their immediate family members (dependents) can call EFAP toll-free, 24 hours a day, seven days a week for immediate, confidential help. There is also an online portal with 24-7 access and resources on many topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
