Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

The EAP provides confidential and timely problem identification/assessment services for persons with personal concerns that may affect job performance. EAP services are offered at no cost to all full-time state and higher education employees and their eligible family members, regardless of whether they participate in the State’s Group Insurance Program. Also, local education (K-12) and local government employees who participate in any of the State’s medical insurance plans and their eligible family members may also use EAP services.
