Health and Wellness

SSQ Insurance is convinced of the health benefits of prevention and the promotion of well-being and offers a wide variety of health programs and services.

All groups can decide what they want to include in their group insurance contract. Some health and wellness programs and services are also available à la carte.

Health Support

Included under long term disability insurance, the Health Support service is designed to promote insureds' physical and psychological health to prevent absenteeism in your organization.

The use of resources is at your discretion: only managers can direct an insured person towards the professional resources of the Health Support service.

The assistance plan provides insureds and their dependents with:

  • 3 hours of telephone consultation, including 1 hour of legal or financial consultation

  • Help with finding a nursing home or childcare services
  • Access to the Internet-based cognitive behavioural therapy (iCBT)
  • Videos on various topics (suicide prevention, cyber addiction, stress management, burn-outs, etc.)

The Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is the perfect complement to health insurance, enabling your organization to aim for and reach three objectives:

  • Improve health and wellness in the workplace
