Where possible, we invest in our staff by helping them work through issues in their personal life they might be struggling with. However, we don't have a formalized Employee Assistance Program (yet).

## How to request assistance
Email hr@ldrprep.com while you're off the clock and explain what kind of issue you're dealing with. If it's confidential, just say that, and we'll schedule a time to talk about it. If it will be a lengthy conversation, please be mindful of that. We want to help, but we might ask that a lengthy conversation be handled off the clock.

## What we might be able to help with
We have helped people in the past with various issues. This is a short list to give some examples.

To be clear: we're not lawyers, doctors, therapists, or anything else. However, we help where we can, sometimes through direct action, other times advice or referrals.

- Moving into a new place to live.
- Relocating from another state and finding a place to stay.
- Domestic violence and abuse.
- Substance issues like addiction.
- Financial planning, including setting up budgets or building credit.
- One-time medical expenses like getting new glasses.
- Needing clothing or food.
- Mental health issues like anxiety, PTSD, or depression (again, we are not therapists).
- Furthering education and developing skills.
- Disputes with service providers or companies like a car dealership, the phone company, or a landlord.
