Emotional ABCs provides HR leaders with an innovative cost-effective resource to lower parent stress.

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, March 14, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ — Emotional ABCs, an established, evidence-based, and award-winning web app that teaches foundational emotional skills to children ages 4-11, can now be offered by companies as an Employee Benefit. Emotional ABCs joins a growing group of mental health choices available to parents through their HR department.
Emotional ABCs is the first-of-its-kind solution that specifically focuses on reducing family stress by helping children learn basic emotional skills. The stress a parent might feel if a child struggles with emotional issues can derail a parent’s ability to focus at work, especially if a parent is unsure of what to do.
Emotional ABCs’ cost-effective app allows HR teams to offer a resource that immediately empowers parents to take positive action and help their families. As a self-contained interactive online program, parents will be able to sign up for Emotional ABCs, and their child can jump right in to get started. The program can be used independently (proactively) by a family or in coordination with therapy or other professional help.
Companies are betting that the advantages of such programs can help lower their employees’ stress levels and also drop the overall cost of healthcare for employees and their families. Decades of studies show that stronger emotional skills lead to happier and more fulfilled lives.
Employee benefits programs offer therapy sessions with mental health professionals, but these are not necessarily set up for daily in-home support. School-based social-emotional learning programs don’t usually focus on the individual skill-building essential for children’s behavioral health. These gaps between healthcare, school, and home result in children not learning foundational emotional and behavioral skills, the very skills that help them deal with many daily challenges.
“Using Emotional ABCs, parents can bring the basics of emotional skills into the home,” says Cynthia Sikes, Chief Creative Officer. “The child benefits from learning the skills, and the entire household environment can feel confident supporting the child.” Sikes noted that Emotional ABCs is a resource of choice for many therapists because of the program’s effectiveness and ability to help children with varying needs.
A recent article from Mercer, “Top Health Trends Headlines for 2023,” discusses how mental health support is a priority for HR and will require innovative solutions to meet employees’ needs in a cost-efficient manner. Emotional ABCs adds to the array of mental health options available through employee benefits.
