Employee Assistance Program
We believe that the best behavioral health care is delivered in a
preventive fashion.
An Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is a primary vehicle for delivering effective and timely behavioral care. These programs are managed by state approved organizations and are designed to address employee mental health issues, substance abuse, work/life issues and crisis assistance.
An EAP is a critical piece to Second Chance policies/programs and managing substance abuse in the workplace.
An EAP benefits organizations in many ways:
- Absenteeism and accidents are reduced
- Health plan costs associated with stress-related illness decrease
- Inappropriate and expensive treatments are avoided
- Morale among employees and management improves
- Employee turnover decreases
- Employee recruitment is enhanced
- Employee conflicts are reduced
- Performance improvement plan programs
An EAP benefits employees in many ways:
- Helps address and resolve problems that can interfere with their personal and work lives
- Provides free counseling and community services to help in dealing with problems of daily living
- Prevents small problems from becoming large
- Critical incident counseling
