The Employee Assistance Program (EAP) provides assessment, short-term counseling, referral, management consultation, and coaching services to federal employees, and is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
"When my agency reorganized, I lost half of the staff in my department. The EAP was an extremely helpful resource during this time of change. The counselor coached me on the most effective ways to address resistance to change and boost morale. The immediate availability of a counselor and the excellent coaching that I received was very valuable." - Federal Human Resources Manager
