The Calm Collection
RWJBarnabas One Source Employee Assistance Program has launched a series of brief, recorded original videos called, “The Calm Collection,” available to you and members of your family. In roughly three minutes, the EAP vows to help you and your family feel better. How do we do that? Some stress management, maybe a laugh or two...
The Calm Collection was created by Thomas Moore and produced by Thomas Moore and Martha Cowles. Each episode is made by the person in the video and edited and branded by Michael Pizzano. More videos will follow from artists and therapists who are committed to helping our One Source EAP clients.
