Employee Assistance Program

Employee Assistance Program (EAP). An EAP is a voluntary, CONFIDENTIAL program that helps employees (including management) work through various life challenges that may adversely affect job performance, health, and personal well-being to optimize an organization’s success. EAP services include assessments, counseling, and referrals for additional services to employees with personal and/or work-related concerns, such as stress, financial issues, legal issues, family problems, office conflicts, and alcohol and substance use disorders. EAPs also often work with management and supervisors providing advanced planning for situations, such as organizational changes, legal considerations, emergency planning, and response to unique traumatic events.

I work with numerous EAP providers. Please consult with your HR department to determine if your employer offers this benefit.
