SunLife Update
Good news! New options are now available in your SunLife package to support your psychological health.
As we continue to look for more ways to support employees, the Joint Employee Associations in Saskatchewan and Ontario have been advocating for additional resources to be made available for employee’s mental well-being.
In response to the JEA’s recommendation, all SunLife benefit packages now have more options for psychology services. In addition to Psychologists and Social Workers, the psychology benefit coverage has been expanded to include Clinical Counsellors, Psychotherapists, and Psychoanalysts.
Starting April 1, 2021, all employees with a SunLife benefit plan will have these services included. Keep in mind this also includes employees with the Health Spending Account who can choose to use their credits towards these services.
For questions regarding benefits, employees can contact the dedicated email benefitinquiries@christian-horizons.org or visit Sun Life Benefit Information on CHconnect.

YMCA WorkWell
Get Counted in!
Christian Horizons has partnered with the YMCA WorkWell organization to leverage their Insights Survey tool as a means of collecting your feedback on making our organization a great place to work. This survey is brief and it contains important questions and includes voluntary demographic information. This is an opportunity to participate in the collection of data on the diversity of our employees, which is a recommendation of the anti-racism taskforce.
We will be launching this online survey across the organization on March 29th and we are hoping to achieve participation from ALL employees. Watch your inbox for an email invitation to complete the survey at the end of the month.
