The Employee Assistance Program (EAP) offered by the Center for Family Life and Recovery (CFLR) is a short-term counseling service that is voluntary and confidential. At times, personal and work-related issues may be difficult to handle. Small problems can grow into larger ones, and it may be unclear what to do. Guidance from a trained professional can make all the difference, CFLR’s licensed professionals are only a phone call away.

What kind of issues would I use EAP for?
