EAP can help resolve employees' problems

City employees are no different that anyone else: they have a life outside work. Sometimes, in addition to job pressure, our employees have to deal with other exterior uncertainties, from parenting or marital issues to financial decisions, from child care dilemmas to elder care anxiety.

The city's Employee Assistance Program can help with that and lend a hand to its most valuable asset — its people.

EAP does exactly what the name suggests: it assists employees and their families with an almost endless range of issues. Whether you need advice about the logistics of moving into a new residence, prenatal care, daycare for preschoolers, buying a new car, or anything that you're having trouble resolving, you can call EAP and speak with experienced, certified and licensed social workers, marriage and family therapists, counselors of all types.

Call the EAP office at 713-964-9906 for more information or to schedule an appointment.
