An Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is a voluntary, work-based program that offers free and confidential consultations, assessments, short-term counseling, referrals, and follow-up services to employees who have personal and/or work-related problems. EAPs address a broad and complex body of issues affecting mental and emotional well-being, such as alcohol and other substance abuse, stress, grief, family problems, and psychological disorders. EAP counselors also work in a consultative role with managers and supervisors to address employee and organizational challenges and needs. EAPs are active in helping organizations prevent and cope with workplace violence, trauma, and other emergency response situations.
