Rick Csiernik, Professor at the School of Social Work, King's University College, University of Western Ontario, is a scholar in the area of Occupational/Employee Assistance. This burgeoning field of practice is evolving from its inception as a mechanism of social control to its future position as a force for health promotion in the work place and in the community. In a theoretical, historical and practice-oriented collection of original articles, both students and practitioners will be able to trace the growth and increasing significance of this field.
Wellness and Work: Employee Assistance Programming in Canada is divided into five sections:
Evolution
Structure
Practice
Case studies
Creating wellness
Both the editor and contributors have a vision of truly ameliorative employee assistance programming and this vision is the first published in Canada about EAP programming in the Canadian context. They believe the field offers great potential for helping build healthier communities of workers and families in addition to helping individual workers who may see themselves, or be seen by others, as people with problems.
This book contains a great deal of relevant information. It will be useful to both practitioners and those who seek change in the goals and outcomes of EAP. It is an essential addition to libraries of helping professionals and service delivery organizations. --- from the publisher Contents: Preface
