Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

The Employee Assistance Program (EAP) provides a valuable resource for support and information during difficult times. The EAP is a free, voluntary, and confidential program that provides problem identification, counseling, and referral services to assist them with a variety of concerns, including, but not limited to:

• Anger management
• Anxious feelings
• Conflicts at work or home
• Domestic violence
• Elder-care issues
• Family/parenting issues
• Feelings of worry or the blues
• Financial concerns
• Grief/loss
• Pre- and post-natal concerns
• Problems with drugs or alcohol

All calls and counseling sessions are confidential, except as required by law. No information will be disclosed unless written consent is given. Management consultation is available when an employee's personal problems are causing a decline in work performance. Critical Incident Stress Management is also available through the EAP.
