Jewelers Mutual Extends Counseling Benefit
The free counseling services will be available through March 31 following continued interest from jewelers.

The “Relieve” benefit through Telus Health provides free counseling services for jewelers, their direct families, and employees. It is available in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Ireland, and Australia.
Last November, the insurance provider expanded access to its counseling services through the end of 2023, offering it to the entire jewelry industry, rather than just its commercially-insured customers.
The company will extend the offer through March 31 since jewelers have shown continued interest in using the free professional telephone counseling services.
“The industry has faced significant challenges in 2023 and many jewelers have put their personal needs on hold to serve their customers, especially during the holiday season. It is our hope that in these first few months of the new year, they can focus on health and wellbeing,” said Scott Murphy, president and CEO at Jewelers Mutual.
“In times of crisis or trauma, we understand that the impact may not be felt for days, weeks or months after the incident," said Murphy. “It’s important for us to take care of our industry when help is needed most. We are stronger together.”
The service is available 24/7 and offers confidential sessions with qualified and experienced professional counselors.
