NEW VALUE ADD PRODUCT - BEATING THE BLUES

IPS has recently launched an exciting new product which supplements the EAP and is available through WebEAP® and WorkLife Essentials®. It is also the first of its kind in Australia.

Depression and anxiety are now global problems and the World Health Organisation has indicated that depression will be the second costliest health issue (only after heart disease) in the developed world over the next 20 years and we have been seeing this trend across all of our clients over the last years. Recent studies have shown online counselling to be twice as effective as face to face in dealing with Chronic Depression and Anxiety for mild to moderate cases .

IPS can now offer integrated access to “Beating the Blues” with a seamless interface between WebEAP®, Atmosphere or WorkLife Essentials®. It aims to assist employees manage their own conditions online in a very practical way using a cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) model that is interactive and provided in a series of self regulated modules that the client can go over as many times as they wish, moving from one module to the next when THEY feel they are ready.
