If you’ve been following the evolution of Workit, (which of course you have!) you probably noticed that we’re talking a lot about the opioid epidemic, and that our care team is now offering medication-assisted treatment to folks who need it.
Chrissy Taylor, Workit Health’s Director of Counseling, talks about being a mom and what she learned when it comes to reaching out for help.
This will not come as a shock to our users: as a counselor, I actually work for you. I am invested in your success, I want great things for you. And as an experienced mental health professional, I know that your path to recovery will be a few steps forward, and a few steps back. That’s 100% expected! Your counselor will never judge you, I promise.
Ready for the journey? Got your snacks packed, some water, make sure you go to the bathroom before we leave. As Workit’s Director of Counseling, I have some tips for your Workit trip before we get started.
Dear Chrissy: Help! The holidays are turning me into a nervous wreck. Any tips for dealing with it? –Not So Holly Jolly Dear Not So
