What a plan does for your organization

On-Demand is there for single requests. A plan gives you a program calendar, advisory time your leaders can count on, employees who know how to reach support, and reviews with a team that understands your organization over time.

Start a Partnership Conversation

What's possible as partners

Every plan starts with a conversation about your people. These are examples of what employers build with us. Your proposal sets what yours includes.

  • A program shaped around your people

    We plan the year with you around your workforce, your calendar and what your teams are facing.

    Clinical & Organizational Advisory

  • Support for your leaders all year

    Managers can think hard situations through with a clinician, from a disclosure to a return from leave.

    Workplace Consultation

  • A launch your employees notice

    Ready-to-share materials and a staff orientation, so people know how to reach us and that it is private.

    How employees reach us

  • Ready before something serious happens

    A readiness plan built with your leaders, and coordinated support when an event happens.

    Critical Incident Response

  • Learning that builds over the year

    A workshop series timed to your calendar, from burnout prevention to leading through change.

    Mental Health Education & Prevention

  • Programs for the people who need them most

    Groups for shift workers, front-line or helping roles, built with you when there is a need.

    Who We Work With

One team that knows your organization coordinates all of it with you, and we review it together so it keeps fitting.

Have a plan. Add anything extra.

What the plan includes is used first. Anything beyond it is at On-Demand rates, and nothing is charged twice.

Example. Plus includes 2 × 90-minute workshops. A third workshop is $1,000, so the year comes to $3,900 + $1,000 = $4,900, plus any counselling sessions used.

Already have an EFAP?

Build on what you already have. Keep your provider and add private, confidential ESS services alongside it, at any time, each priced on its own.

What you can add

Questions about pricing

How are our employees' counselling sessions paid for?
Per session used, under every option. Adult and youth sessions are $110 to $180 per session, depending on your organization, funding capacity, the type of service and your overall agreement. Your reports show totals only; ESS never shares who attended.
Is there a limit on sessions per person?
Whether there is a limit on sessions per person, and who is eligible (for example family members), is set in your agreement.
Why choose a plan over On-Demand?
A plan is a planned year: scheduled education, advisory time for your leaders, structured reviews, and a team that knows your organization, with a named ESS contact who knows your organization and one team that coordinates every service with you, all year. Essential includes $2,580 of support for a $1,500 fee, and Plus $5,815 for a $3,900 fee, all at On-Demand rates. Partnership is quoted with you. If you need only one workshop or a few hours, On-Demand can cost less, and the builder shows both side by side.
How is a Partnership priced?
Collaboratively. After a needs conversation, we quote it around your organization, its size and the clinical and organizational support you need, and confirm it in a written proposal.
What about several locations or a larger workforce?
Your organization's size shapes reach, the number of sessions and the program design, and is confirmed in your proposal. It does not set your counselling rate on its own.
What does "from" mean?
A starting price. The final amount depends on scope, such as the number of clinicians, travel or preparation, and is set in your proposal.
How long is a plan?
Annual plans run for 12 months from the start date in your agreement.
