Services

The EAP Coordinator does not provide long term therapeutic counseling, but does spend time assessing your needs from a “whole person” perspective.   The Coordinator will then recommend several resources in the community, many of which are participants in your health care provider network.  Based on those referrals, you can then work with the Coordinator and the provider in the community to address your needs.   The goal here is to get the employee/family member/retiree, back to “pre-issue” functioning, and on the road to more productive work and family life.

No issue is too large or too small.   Call the EAP Coordinator if you are experiencing:

  • Overwhelming stress
