Dear Friends and Professional Colleagues:

As I am in the midst of editing the 5th International Employee Assistance Compendium, I received the video below from my author Natalia from Ukraine. Natalia is a psychotherapist in Ukraine and recently delivered a speech at the ESTSS conference, Belfast 2023. She encouraged me to distribute it. She described what it is like to be in the midst of a war and to try and provide help to her people. Rather than wait till the Compendium is published I thought it important to share it with you now.

Please click below to watch Natalia's speech.

Warm regards – Dale

Masi et al’s recent article, Date Game Changer: Current Utilization Figures Inaccurate in January’s issue of the EAPA Journal challenges the traditional method for counting utilization. The article discusses new ground breaking methodology whereby EAPs are more accurately presented.

The History of Employee Assistance in the U.S. and Canada: Dr. Dale Masi interviews eight key informants

BLOOMINGTON, IL, April 25, 2017 - The Employee Assistance Research Foundation’s (EARF) latest project is designed to address a critical deficiency in the employee assistance/work-life knowledge base – a definitive resource that documents the history and evolution of EAPs. The initial phase of this effort is now complete and available – video interviews with eight key informants focused on the development of EAPs and Work-Life in the U.S. and Canada over the last 50 years. Dr. Dale Masi, a well-known distinguished scholar, Professor Emeritus, and professional consultant in the employee assistance field conducted the interviews in the Media Lab at the University of Maryland, Baltimore. Dr. Masi was assisted by Dr. Jodi Jacobson Frey, Associate Professor and Chair of the EAP sub-specialization at the University of Maryland, Baltimore, School of Social Work.

Dr. Masi’s interviews can be viewed at the Employee Assistance Digital Archive (www.eaarchive.org) housed in the University of Maryland Baltimore’s Health Sciences and Human Services Library. Direct links to the individual interviews are provided below:
