Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

Everyday life can be stressful and can affect your health, well-being, and
performance. Fortunately, our Employee Assistance Program can aid in
finding solutions. 

When facing personal problems–mental health challenges, financial or legal
concerns, relationship conflicts, substance abuse, childcare or eldercare–
you might struggle with where to turn for help.

The first step is usually the hardest and guidance is often the key. That is why
our EAP offers a confidential place to find answers that work for you.

EAP services are available two ways:

Add New Flavor to Your Cooking

Do you like the idea of trying new recipes offered by meal delivery services, but
not the price tag? Many of them offer free access to their recipes. 

Trying new and exciting recipes is a great way to get out of a fast food rut or break
the habit of reaching for processed foods.
