For companies, an EAP can help to improve staff performance and reduce absenteeism.
Typically, an EAP provides employees with unlimited access to a confidential telephone helpline operated by qualified counsellors and advisers. Available 24:7, they provide support and advice on issues such as relationship difficulties, drug or alcohol abuse, bereavement, legal problems and eating disorders.
Face to face counselling with a qualified counsellor or psychologist can also be included.
