Safe Harbour Counseling is proud to be offering services to corporations for in-house mental health therapy. We believe that providing these services to corporations’ employees is of great benefit to them as well as the company that they work for. Some of the benefits include increased productivity, increased knowledge, increased retention, decreased health care and disability costs, higher staff morale, etc. We recently sat down with one of our partners that utilizes this service, Worthington Industries, to get their thoughts on it and how it works for them.
Thank you for talking with us today. Can you start by please describing your relationship with Safe Harbour Counseling and what they provide for your company?
