Employee Assistance Program – EAP
An Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is a work-based intervention program designed to enhance the emotional and psychological well-being of employees.
EAPs provide preventive and proactive interventions for the early detection, identification and resolution of workplace and personal problems that may adversely impact upon work performance and general well-being.
These problems and issues may include, but are not limited to, depression, anxiety, stress, bullying, relationships, health, trauma, alcohol and substance abuse as well as gambling and other addictions.
