Employee Resilience Programs® (ERP® and EARP® counseling and work-life balance support services)
We provide staff with year-round access to confidential individual counseling support through our ERP® and EARP® services. Traditional EAP services often fail to effectively support staff working in high-stress environments and roles. In contrast to a traditional EAP service, the counseling delivered through our services are only delivered by highly experienced counselors who specialize in supporting staff working in high-stress and high-threat environments, or those working in inherently stressful roles where they are regularly exposed to suffering, threat, and conflict.
Our service includes access to specialized counseling available in over 50 languages and specialized support for managers of teams grappling with issues of stress, burnout, and a range of other topics. Our ERP® offers staff easy access via email and the KonTerra Connect App, and typically up to 8 sessions of counseling, per topic/event. Our EARP® includes the same counseling support, plus other components of a traditional EAP service (work-life balance referrals, 24/7 call center, and the provision of a website with mental health and work-life balance content).

KonTerra Inventory of Resilience Builders® (KIRB®)
The 90-item KIRB® assesses behavior and experiences in ten key areas that research suggests are foundational to resilience (sleep, exercise, nutrition, supportive connections, rest & relaxation, boundaries, positive outlook, emotional regulation, adaptive coping, and meaning & purpose). After taking the KIRB, individuals receive an assessment feedback report that outlines their results and includes reflection questions, a personal planning guide, and practical tips related to current growth-edge areas.
