"Broad Brush" Employee Assistance Programs training

"BEHIND THE LOOKING GLASS":
BROAD-BRUSH E.A.P. TRAINING

"Behind the Looking Glass" takes on the difficult task of defining "broad-brush" Employee Assistance Programs, and illustrates their importance in dealing with the various problems that inhibit job performance (alcohol and other drugs, financial, legal, mental, etc.). This theatrical presentation combines factual information with comedic and dramatic scenes to empower "troubled" employees and faculty to seek the help that is available.

This presentation also available on Video!

Scenes Included in the Program:

TROUBLED WORKER BLUES
This blues parody opens the program on a humorous note. A Staff-Supervisor, swamped in a dysfunctional workforce sings the blues about poor safety records, absenteeism, and a black market for drug-free urine.

SYMPTOMATIC SHUFFLE
If someone is so depressed he is losing his hair, does Rogaine solve the problem?
This dramatizes certain individuals who choose to fight the symptoms while leaving the root causes to fester.

END OF THE LINE
One co-worker boosts a buddy's productivity by offering the "cocaine advantage". Suddenly the college adopts a mandatory drug testing policy and the chase is on!

THE INTIMATE JAILER
Studies have shown that domestic violence issues have become a significant percentage of EAP case- loads. This scene effectively illustrates how productivity suffers when life at home has soured.

GLIMMER OF DOUBT
A man accused of sexual harassment expresses how false charges have reached beyond the workplace, affecting his family life and future employability.

NOTHING PERSONAL
Downsizing, rightsizing, or whatever they are calling it this week, has a huge emotional impact on the workforce. This dramatic monologue examines the mind of an individual who feels mistreated and has brought his irrational thoughts and a weapon to campus.

I'M SO EMBARRASED
This employee's conflict between job responsibilities, financial stress and commitment to her family presents a situation wherein the EAP may be a balm in Gilead.

ALTERNATIVES
A supervisor uses non-threatening "supportive confrontation" in encouraging a troubled employee's participation in the EAP.

IT'S ON THE RECEIPT
The character in this closing monologue recounts the uplifting results of going to the EAP for help. His narrative further illustrates the effectiveness of these programs in dealing with delicate situations.
