Two options for supporting plan members during the pandemic

We know these are difficult times. In addition to concerns about their health and the health of their family, working Canadians are worried about their jobs and their finances. Fortunately, through our partnership with Homewood Health^®, we have two options for employers to support their employees through this crisis.

Below is an overview to refer to when you're meeting with your clients. Or you can download this PDF version.

Homewood Online (Homeweb)

All Equitable Life^® clients and their plan members have access to Homeweb, a personalized online mental health and wellness portal. Accessible via the web or mobile app, Homeweb includes an online library of interactive tools, assessments, e-courses and resources to support plan members through the pandemic.

Homewood Health Employee and Family Assistance Program (EFAP)

Employers can provide additional support by adding the Homewood Health EFAP. In addition to full access to Homeweb, it offers confidential short-term counselling through a national network of mental health professionals, plus other resources and tools.
