Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) are confidential, effective, early and minimum intervention programs operating in the workplace. These programs address work-related and personal issues which affect productivity; i.e. they provide management and unions with the means to offer assistance to employees and their families with alcoholism, substance abuse, emotional problems and other human issues that impact on health and job performances. EAPs assist employees and where appropriate their supervisors, shop stewards and family, peers to resolve issues which may involve referral to community resources.

In essence, the EAP provides:

Consultation
Counselling
Training
Health Promotion & Prevention.
