Counseling through the EAP Program typically involves weekly sessions, usually 50-60 minutes in length.  Duration of treatment varies depending on the nature of the problem and your individual needs. However, the goal of the program is short-term counseling which usually involves six (6) sessions or less.

• Sworn officers, support personnel, department employees, and their dependents are eligible for services.

• Critical Incident Stress Debriefings are confidential psycho-educational sessions and are not fitness for duty evaluations.

• We currently offer both in-person appointments, at our office in Medley, and remote telehealth appointments, from a quiet location of your choice, via secure and confidential video-conferencing platform. At the time of scheduling, our office staff will inquire regarding your preference. Annual Wellness Visits will be scheduled as remote appointments.

• Evening and weekend hours available, by appointment only.

• All services through the Officer/Employee Assistance Program are free of charge for contracted agencies/city organizations. No names of clients/service users or identifying information is disclosed in the billing process.

  • In order to confirm eligibility, please bring your city/department issued ID

Information discussed during EAP sessions is kept strictly confidential and is not disclosed without your written permission. However, confidentiality is not guaranteed in cases of danger to self or others, or situations in which children or the elderly are endangered (instances of abuse or neglect).
