Life pulls us in many different directions. Between kids, personal relationships, extracurricular activities, and family time, it seems like we don’t have enough time in the day to fit it all in. When life gets you stressed, call HCDE's employee assistance line. It offers 24/7 access to professionals who can help you successfully face emotional issues.
What is an EAP and how do I access it?
-
An employee assistance program, or EAP, is a free, voluntary program offered by HCDE through a partnership with Alliance Work Partners. With one phone call, you can access short-term counseling and confidential assessments whenever you have a personal or work-related problem. Your EAP offers many resources to help you become more resilient, cope with unfortunate events, and uncover a better you.
