Employee
Assistance Program (EAP) and Drug Free Workplace Training
South Community has provided EAP services for over 25
years. We work with employers and their employees to augment employers' efforts to
maintain a healthy and productive workforce.
In 1997, South Community was selected by the Dayton
Chamber of Commerce as their value-added EAP provider. The selection criteria
utilized by the Chamber was based upon experience, services offered, geographic access,
diversity of clinicians and overall value. This program, known as EAP
Plus is operated as a joint venture between South Community Inc and
Day-Mont BHC, Inc. under a contract with the Dayton Chamber of Commerce.
What is an EAP? - An EAP is designed to help
employers and employees deal with personal and workplace challenges. EAP's are often
the first step in recovery for alcohol and drug abuse, anger management, financial crisis
and other life issues. EAP's save employers millions of dollars each year by
intervening in personal and work issues that affect productivity, and the emotional
well-being of employees and their family members.

What kinds of personal problems can my EAP
address?
If I am a manager, what kinds of work
related problems can the EAP address?
Who needs counseling? Anyone who wants
it! Unfortunately, many people still associate counseling with mental illness or personal
weakness. Of course, neither one is true. People decide to get counseling for many
reasons, including feeling stressed out, low self esteem, shyness, depression
. all the things that make us human.
Will anyone know Im receiving counseling?
Counseling is strictly confidential. Unless required by law, the counselor can not and
will not release any information without the persons express written consent.
What about training? EAP PLUS provides
supervisor and employee EAP orientation sessions and periodic topic specific training at
the employers request. Topics may include: Working Together, The
Psychology of Money, Job Burnout, Stress Management, to name but a few.
We can also provide a complete Drug Free Workplace Training Program to an employer for an
additional charge.
How much does all this cost? There is no
charge to an employee or family member for EAP services. Our EAP contracts with an
employer on either a capitated or fee-for-service basis.
