The Program Concept
The EAP program began in the late 1970’s to address drug and alcohol issues in the workplace.
Since then, the help that EAPs provide companies has increased significantly. A contracted program between Family Services and your place of work, EAP aims to help employees and their families resolve interference of personal issues in job performance.
