Ask
the Expert about Family Issues
Life's never easy, as
everyone knows.
Whether it's handling
single parenthood after a divorce or spotting Alzheimer's Disease in an
elderly loved one, the everyday issues we face can seem overwhelming at
times. The first step toward meeting such challenges often is having access
to reliable information that can help us sort things out.
For UAW-represented Chrysler
employees, finding that information may be as easy as coming to work. Ask
the Expert is a program that brings specialists from various helping professions
to Chrysler facilities for face-to-face meetings with workers.
Besides
free consultations, the experts provide resource materials and referrals
to help resolve work-life concerns. Ask the Expert is actually an enhancement
to the UAW-Chrysler Family Resource and Referral Program, another
Circle of Life service.
As the name of this program
suggests, these folks know their stuff. The experts include licensed psychologists,
social workers, employee assistance professionals and geriatric-care specialists.
Depending on the schedule at your location, you can hook up with them at
education fairs, town hall meetings or other informational sessions arranged
by Local Joint Training Facilitators.
The topics offered also
vary, depending on issues of greatest interest to employees at a particular
location. So, whether you have 30 seconds or 30 minutes to spare, Ask the
Expert. It may offer convenient answers to questions that sometimes make
life a struggle.
The program covers the
47 topics listed below. If you're interested in talking to an expert about
any of them, contact your Local
Joint Training Facilitator.
