Page 12 Associate Assistance Program Is a Valuable Benefit More than a year has passed since Clinton Mills began its Associate Assistance Prog ram. As a result of professional counselors working closely with the Human Resources staff, supervision, medical personnel, and referral centers, many associates have been able to overcome difficulties and restore their self-esteem. Associates who have personal or family problems stemming from marital or domes tic difficulties, drug or alcohol dependency, or financial or legal problems have found professional help readily available through the Associate Assistance Program.. “It has been most rewarding to be in volved in helping associates feel better ab out their personal concerns which in turn helps make their employment more reward ing and meaningful," stated Counselor Richard Cain. According to Cain, millions of people in our society are affected by psychological, mental, emotional and physical problems. Stress, anxiety, depression, alcohol and drugs continue to adversely affect a large portion of our population,” he added. “We should not ignore the very harmful effects of alcohol and drug abuse and how prevalent these problems are in our socie ty," noted Cain. "Family, friends, co workers, supervision and the individuals themselves are all affected by drug and alco hol abuse problems. Normally, these are progressive situations which tend to get more severe unless professional help is sought,” continued Cain. “All sessions with the Associate Assist ance Program Counselor are kept confiden tial,” added Cain. “Too often family mem bers are reluctant to seek help and make excuses to cover for ones with an abuse prob lem. When the problem goes untreated, the Richard Cain condition worsens. Many drugs and even alcohol can cause immediate and perma nent psychological or physical damage or even death. Cain is pleased with the results of the Associate Assistance Program throughout the organization. “Even in the fast pace world we live in, we need to take better care of our own mental, emotional and physical well-being.” Clinton’s highly successful program is successful because it has made it easy for people to get professional help. This is enabling more and more associates to con tinue their roles as good employees while getting control of major problems affecting their lives.
