What Would You Do If...

Organizations are concerned about their employees and recognize that work performance is affected by personal concerns. The Employee Assistance Program is designed to help employees resolve personal and workplace problems to get their lives back in order.
What Is the Employee Assistance Program (EAP)?
CHI St. Alexius Health Employee Assistance Program is a free, confidential assessment/counseling/referral service staffed by trained professionals who help individuals and families evaluate their problems and take positive action to resolve them.
How Does It Work?
Your organization provides employee assistance services to all employees and their immediate family members. Immediate family includes spouses and/or dependent children. When you or your family members contact the EAP, a professional counselor will assess your situation and provide the assistance needed to resolve it.

All clinical services are provided in a professional and confidential manner with emphasis on improving relationships, finding solutions and developing personal effectiveness and self-esteem.
