Employee Assistance Program



The Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is a professional counseling and referral service designed to help employees with their problems on and off the job. It is free, confidential within the limits of the law, and voluntary.

What kinds of problems can the EAP help you with?

The professional counselors are prepared to assist employees with virtually any issue or problem that may arise. Some of the most common concerns include emotional, relationship, family, alcohol/other drug use, and job.

What can you expect from the EAP?

Assistance is available immediately to employees and, in some cases, their immediate family members. Counselors will:

  • Help you assess the problem
  • Provide short-term counseling or problem solving when appropriate
  • Assist you in selecting a community resource, when necessary
  • Follow-up to ensure you receive quality assistance
