St. Joseph Behavioral Health Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

This counseling service encourages associates to call the EAP help line if they are experiencing any problems that may be affecting their jobs or personal lives. EAP offers solution-focused, short-term counseling which includes up to five free sessions per concern.

If you've had a bad day at work, you can call the EAP help line to schedule an appointment or talk to a therapist. If you want to bounce an idea off of an objective listener, give EAP a call. Keep in mind that we all have problems from time to time and no one is exempt from struggles. There is someone out there to help you through the rough spots. The Employee Assistance Program can help you with many issues, whether by phone or in person.
