How does this form work?
- This form allows employees the opportunity to earn the discount through biometrics, preventive care visits, and Health Yourself activities.
- Employees must earn 100 points and return this form to Jess Brown by May 31st to qualify for the discount.
- If you earn over 150 points, you will be eligible for a prize drawing.
Are you ready to start earning the discount?
- The easiest place to start is with a Health Yourself blood draw- this helps us map out how you can earn all 100 points, and ensures your biometrics are completely filled out (this is a common place for error with your doctor). Doing your draw with Health Yourself is free to you. Book a blood draw appointment here.
- Watch for Jess Brown’s emails with upcoming challenges and activities.
- If you are already earning points from activities (right on!), you can print off the form and start keeping track for yourself. Jess will also keep track of your activities.
Employee Assistance Program –
The CBJ has contracted ComPsych® to provide employees and their families with support, resources, and information on a confidential basis—at no charge. Through this benefit employees and all household members (regardless of their benefit status) are eligible to receive on demand telephone counseling, as well as up to 6 free sessions per issue with a local counselor.
To get started, visit the ComPsych® website, or to speak with a ComPsych representative by calling 1(800) 344-9752. When you call or set up your online account use the following information:
- Company: City and Borough of Juneau

For more urgent situations, you can call and speak to a counselor on the phone immediately, 24/7.
If you wish to work with a local counselor for your 6 free sessions per issue, when you call you can either ask if a specific counselor you have in mind is contracted with them, describe your situation and receive a list of recommended counselors based on the issue, or ask for the full list of contracted counselors and choose from it.
