    Confidential Counseling

    Provides short-term counseling services (5 sessions) for you and/or your dependents. Call anytime about anything - marital, relationship, and family concerns; stress, anxiety, and depression; grief and loss; job pressures; substance abuse; and more.

    Employees have access to five free sessions with a therapist, counselor, or medical physician to get them the help they may be seeking.

    Additionally, you can look for signs of an employee needing medical or substance abuse help by being aware of: 

    • Underlying health problems that mimic intoxication (i.e., diabetes, epilepsy, etc.),
    • Odor (i.e., tobacco, overly sweet, acetone, etc.),
    • Speech (i.e., slurred, normal, etc.),
    • Energy levels (i.e., wide awake, sleepy, groggy, etc.),
    • Appearance (i.e., disheveled, neatly dressed, burn marks on hands or other places, etc.), 
    • Ability to recall events,
    • Knowledge of recent injuries, 
    • Known substance use or exposure,
    • Level of consciousness/orientation,
    • Vital signs,
    • Respiratory effort (i.e., rapid or slow breathing, difficulty in taking a breath, etc.),
    • Pupils (i.e., dilated, etc.),
    • Skin (i.e., diaphoretic, dry, flushed, cool, hot, etc.), 
    • Gait (i.e., walking pace, balance, etc.)

    If you notice any of these signs, reach out to your manager to get support from your OneHR team. You can also contact HR Connect directly for support at 720-423-3900, option 1.
