PIVOT EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (EAP)
What is an employee assistance program?
An employee assistance program or EAP is a counseling service for employees and their eligible dependent that may be experiencing personal or workplace problems. Everyone has problems from time to time. Usually, we work them out but sometimes problems persist, becoming serious enough to affect us both on and off the job. It is during these times, an EAP counselor may be able to help.
What type of problems does EAP help with?
EAP handles a wide range of problems. These include problems related to:
- Family Problems
- Marital Issues
- Alcohol/Substance Abuse
- Stress
- Grief
- Financial Problems
- Legal Issues
- Workplace Issues
- Emotional
- Parenting Problems
How much does it cost me as an employee?
There is NO COST for employees and family members to use our services. What’s more, you are encouraged to use EAP services whenever you need help or information to best handle your job or family responsibilities. EAP counseling is short term counseling 6-8 sessions per problem. Referrals are made for issues requiring more sessions.
Will my counselor keep my problem confidential?
YES, Absolutely! Confidentiality is a requirement and a guarantee we make to all employees. Without it, EAP wouldn’t work. Every counselor knows this rule. No information goes anywhere without your request and written permission. Remember, these counselors are specially trained in EAP work. They handle delicate issues and they have the knowledge and skills to assist you toward solving your problems.
Check out our Confidentiality Policy for more info.
