Victims of a jewellery store robbery or a natural disaster will now have access to counselling as part of a business’s coverage with Jewelers Mutual Insurance Co. “Jewellers work in a dangerous industry, and I think I speak for everyone at Jewelers Mutual when I say there is nothing more heart-wrenching than news one of our jewellers has been involved in an armed robbery or a shooting or another traumatic situation,” said Darwin Copeman, president and chief executive officer (CEO) of Jewelers Mutual. “At Jewelers Mutual, we want to do more for you than pay for your stolen goods or repair your store. We want to help you and your employees recover however we can, so you can move forward with your lives and resume your life’s work.” Called the RELI(E)VE Program, the new benefit is the result of a partnership between Jewelers Mutual and Ceridian LifeWorks, a provider of employee assistance programs, work-life, wellness, and crisis support services in the United States and Canada. Services include 24-7 telephone access to LifeWorks’ masters-level counsellors, face-to-face sessions with a qualified local counselling professional, and onsite crisis support in the form of one-on-one and group counselling sessions. The following are signs an individual could be having difficulty recovering from psychological trauma: • vivid and frequent flashbacks; • a pervasive change in personality or demeanor; • dramatic emotional swings; • anxiety or paranoia; • insomnia or fitful sleep; • depression; and/or • heightened feelings of stress.
