This multi-year partnership will initially provide support to expatriates covered under Integra Global Health Plans worldwide, which LAMP underwrites.

With the support of Morneau Shepell's worldwide network, Integra Global will provide access for its members to culturally relevant counselling, and provide workers and their families who are living abroad with emotional and inter-cultural support in their new place of employment. "We are very excited to partner with LAMP to provide this important part of employee assistance to expatriate workers covered with Integra Global Health Plans," said Richard Albert, Vice President, International, with Morneau Shepell.

"We feel quite strongly about providing specialized health plans to organizations and workers with unique needs," explained Philip Catterton, Managing Director of Integra Gobal. "Given the special circumstances of expatriates, providing quality cultural and language support in times of crises is paramount to our partnership and our value-add to the service Morneau Shepell clients will receive around the world."

Integra Global provides a variety of choice for Individual & Family Plans as well as Group Plans. The true benefit of the partnership and for expatriate workers comes in the form of personalized and customized service that allows for a seamless integration of benefits in what can be an otherwise difficult experience.
