employee assistance programs  

Definition

  • Employee assistance programs (EAPs) are workplace human services that make up part of the fringe benefits system found in employment. EAPs constitute an important facet of diversity in human services because they are an important point of access to behavioral health services for U.S. workers who would otherwise not have access to prevention and treatment services for mental health and substance abuse issues.
