EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

WHAT IS EAP?

The Employee Assistance Program offers confidential help to West Springfield employees and their family members for personal problems, including drug and alcohol abuse, marital problems, depression and anxiety, troubled children, personal and job-related stress.

HOW CAN EAP HELP YOU?

Trained professional therapists help you identify the source of a problem and design effective solutions. Counseling is not just a friendly conversation; specific goals are set with you, so you can find solutions as quickly and effectively as possible.

IS EAP CONFIDENTIAL?Yes! Nobody, including your boss, co-workers, or other family members, will be given any personal information about you, unless you decide they should know, and give us written permission. We will not report who uses the EAP to the City.

This information is to be posted in the workplace and available at all buildings, and periodically disseminated at meetings.
