The Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is a confidential program that provides professional assistance to help employees and their family members address personal problems that might affect their personal lives and/or job performance. This is a voluntary program that encourages individuals to seek assistance on their own. Participation in
the EAP will not jeopardize your job.
