MINES & Associates (MINES) is leveraging the extensive management and Human Resources support components found in the core Employee Assistance Program that MINES offers. The goal is to help leadership teams address symptoms of organizational trauma within their companies. Often, these challenges are beyond what leaders have been trained to address, much less that no leader has ever been through times like these. Organizational trauma occurs when an organization is severely impacted by multiple factors both internal and external to the organization that has a serious negative impact on the functioning of the organization and the wellbeing of the employees. Today this includes the COVID19 pandemic, social and political unrest, and economic turmoil, just to name a few.

MINES also supports the behavioral health of employees that may be impacted by these issues, providing digital, virtual, and in-person confidential counseling, wellness coaching, legal and financial resources, work/life balance tools, and educational support around important mental health topics and self-care during these challenging times.
