South Community has provided EAP services for nearly 30 years. We work with employers and their employees to augment employers’ efforts to maintain a healthy and productive workforce.

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.

EAP Plus offers a broad range of services, including:

• Community-based counseling services for employees and their immediate family members
• A supervisory referral program designed to assist under-performing employees
• Supervisory consultation services
• A critical incident response team should an organization experience a traumatic event

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 I’m receiving counseling?

Counseling is strictly confidential. Unless required by law, the counselor can not and will not release any information without the person’s express written consent.

How much does all this cost?

EAP Plus contracts with an employer on either a capitated or fee-for-service basis. There is no charge to an employee or family member for EAP Plus services.
