Counselling service

Support when you need it most

Converge International provides an Employee Assistance Program, a professional counselling service that offers confidential, short-term support for issues that may be affecting you a work or at home. The Program gives you free and confidential access to qualified counselling and psychology professionals.

What can they help with?
  • Work-related concerns and conflict
  • Relationship or family issues
  • Mental health concerns, including stress and anxiety
  • Alcohol and drug dependence
  • Grief or trauma

SDA members are entitled to three free one-hour counselling sessions per year with Converge International, upon referral from the SDA. In the event of a crisis, family members can also receive counselling – this is included in the SDA member’s three-session entitlement.
