Employee Assistance Program

Employee Assistance Programs (EAP)

Employee Assistance Programs are designed to give you and your dependents confidential support, resources and information for   personal and work-life issues.

These services are provided at no charge to you and include:

Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for Confidential Counseling

Life can be stressful. Your EAP is designed to provide short-term counseling services for you and your dependents to help you handle concerns constructively, before they become major issues. Call anytime about concerns such as marital, relationship and family problems; stress, anxiety and depression; grief and loss, job pressures and substance abuse.
