Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
Psychological support services for your employees
An Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is a work-based intervention support program that provides employees external professional mental health support.
COPE Centre is an EAP provider
We deliver psychological services to employees and their families whilst considering their workplace needs. Our psychologist under the EAP can assist employees who are experiencing both personal and work-related issues – including mental health issues, relationship concerns, stress or financial concerns and workplace bullying. Most counselling services can be offered to employees (and often their immediate families) either in person or via telehealth video conferencing.
Implementing an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) benefits organisations by supporting employee well-being, increasing productivity, reducing absenteeism, boosting morale and engagement, potentially saving costs, managing risks, and improving retention.
An Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is a confidential and professional counselling service offered to employees to help them with work or personal issues. The aim of EAP is to optimise employee performance and productivity to allow the organisation to thrive and flourish. EAP encourages early intervention to ensure that employees are managing their mental health appropriately.
