To help you implement your plan, ValueOptions has assembled a variety of tools to help tailor your tactics to meet your population’s needs. As part of our standard outreach to educate employees and family members about the EAP, we plan to use our existing communication vehicles. All of the pieces described below are available to you at no charge.

ValueOptions driven

For general the population ValueOptions will focus communication efforts on promoting awareness of domestic violence-its prevalence and cyclic nature; reducing the stigma, guilt and shame associated with abuse; expanding awareness of resources; and promoting education and intervention. You can expect to see information that supports these objectives in:
