Employee Assistance Program

SWEAP Connections provides programs and services designed to both assist employees and support the productivity and profitability of employers. Our Employee Assistance Program uses a comprehensive approach to accomplish these goals.

Through the Personal Counseling portion of the EAP, employees and their families have direct 24/7 access to assessment, crisis intervention, counseling, coaching, follow-up and referral. We provide supervisors and managers with Management Consultation focusing on how to resolve difficult employee issues using approaches that benefit employees and the organization. Proactive support services such as Training, Work/Life Resources and Critical Incident Stress Debriefing are a standard part of every SWEAP relationship.
