An EAP is a
worksite-focused program designed to assist in the identification and resolution
of productivity problems associated with employees impaired by personal
concerns. (Employee Assistance Professionals Association)
The National Institute on Mental Health estimates that at
any given time 10% to 15% of Americans are experiencing significant life problems
that can benefit from professional intervention. Common
problems are stress and anxiety, depression, family and marital problems, and financial
problems. It is also estimated that
8% of the workforce is chemical dependent.
