An Employee Assistance Program is a benefit that employers offer to their employees and their dependents. EASE offers free, confidential counseling, child care and elder care advocacy, management training and consultation, and more.
If your employer is a client of EASE, all employees and their immediate family members are eligible to use the EAP service. In special cases other dependent family members may also be eligible.
You can call EASE and speak to a licensed counselor 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The counselor will determine your needs and schedule an appointment for you in your community.

All EASE counselors have earned a masters degree or doctorate in counseling.
Depending on your employer's plan, you may see a counselor 3-5 times per year per issue.
No. Your employer will not know you contacted EASE. Your confidentiality is a key component of assisting you.
EASE is a company completely separate from your employer. EASE company policy and federal law protect your confidentiality. Your personal information and details of any personal problems will not go beyond EASE. Private conversations with EASE are not shared with supervisors, and EASE records are kept completely separate from personnel records. These records are protected by the EAP's confidentiality policy and by federal law, and are not released without the employee's expressed, written permission.
If your employer provides you with EAP services through EASE, then EASE services are free to you and your family members. If you or your dependents are referred to another professional or community resource, such as a drug treatment program, there may be a fee for you to use those services. In many cases, your insurance plan covers such fees. If a referral is necessary, the counselor will work to refer you to the most affordable community resource.
