FCS Financial offers assistance program

Ag lender FCS Financial has joined with the Life Works program to offer its members a member assistance program. Life Works is a program focused on mental, emotional and physical health.

FCS Financial CEO Dave Janish tells Brownfield the Life Works program fits perfectly with his company’s mission to support rural communities.

“There’s a gap in many of the rural communities where households need access to the services that we provide through life works, but they’re just not available,” he said.

Janish said the program offers guidance in a variety of areas like stress, addiction and depression but also in areas like financial planning.

“People that use the Life Works program are put in touch with an in-person consultant or counselor who is able to deal with those issues and walk them through issues, provide them guidance, direction, support.” Janish said.

He said materials like videos are also available. Janish said Life Works is available 24/7 and is completely confidential. The program extends to all household members of FCS Financial members.
