Employees and family members face stress on a daily basis, both at work and outside of the workplace. Left unaddressed, these stressors can become overwhelming.

The EAP is designed to help you find solutions for issues such as: managing stress, family issues, parenting problems, grief, anxiety, substance abuse, co-worker issues, depression, work-life balance, or any other personal concerns.

This program is designed to help the employee find ways to get the help needed to solve problems.  Sometimes, you receive information that helps; other times, you may need to talk to one of our EAP counselors to figure out what is the best course of action.
