Employee Assistance Program (EAP) Information for Employees
Positive Solutions provides free* Employee Assistance Program (EAP) services to employees who are experiencing challenges in both their personal and professional life. Our EAP services can provide you with lifelong strategies to assist you in managing issues which may be causing you stress and/or anxiety.
What services can I access?
Generally, as an employee you are able to directly access counselling support without having to speak to your workplace. Other services such as training, workplace mediation, professional supervision and onsite support are normally referred via HR or Managers.
Who can use the EAP?
Where your employer has an agreement with us, you will be able to voluntarily access EAP services at no cost*. This agreement may also apply to your family members. To check if this is the case inquire at your workplace or contact our office.
*cost covered by your employer for a limited number of sessions
