Wellness at the ATSSC

The ATSSC is committed to providing a safe and healthy workplace. The organization's vision for workplace well-being is tied to the organizational values and the commitment to ensuring an inclusive, welcoming, and supportive work environment for everyone.

Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

ATSSC employees (including casual employees and students) and their immediate family members, can access EAP, which offers free, short-term psychological support with a mental health professional. The EAP is strictly confidential and can assist in addressing almost every problem that affects peoples' professional or personal lives, including marital and family issues, work-related problems and interpersonal conflicts.

Contact the EAP by phone: 1-800-268-7708 (1-800-567-5803 for persons with a hearing impairment), 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, or by online chat: www.canada.ca/eap-chat (password: canada) using any device with an internet connection; available Monday to Friday, from 8 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time), excluding statutory holidays.
