Most people feel anxious or depressed at times. Losing a loved one, going through a divorce, and other difficult situations can lead a person to feel sad, lonely, scared, nervous, or anxious. These feelings are normal reactions to life’s stressors. When you add trying to balance work and home life you can get even more overwhelmed. Functional Pathways understands that sometimes we all need extra help in achieving this balance. This is why Functional Pathways has partnered with Guardian Life Insurance Company of America, to provide all employees (who elected the Guardian benefits) with free confidential access to WorkLifeMatters Employee Assistance Program.
