They affect the cost of credit we receive, where we live, insurance rates we pay – even the jobs we can get.

Employee Assistance Program Webinars and Workshops
Stress caused by our political climate is extremely valid and understandable. According to a survey by the American Psychological Association, 68% of Americans report the “future of our nation” as a significant source of stress. This can affect both our everyday lives and our relationships.
If you are feeling a significant increase in stress, anxiety, fear or anger about politics, we encourage you to reach out to KGA. You and your household members have 24/7 access to counselors and coaches for emotional support. At My.KGALifeServices.com you will find information and self-directed tools to help manage stress. These services are confidential and provided at no cost to you.
