What is an Employee Assistance Program?

Employee assistance programs (EAPs) are employer-sponsored programs that offer free and confidential counseling services to employees who may be experiencing personal or work-related problems.

EAPs can provide a wide range of services, including individual and group counseling, financial planning, legal assistance, and substance abuse prevention and treatment. EAPs are typically offered as part of an employee benefits package and are available to all employees, regardless of job position or salary.
