Why does the District make this service available?
The program is offered to help retirees, employees and their families deal effectively with the many complex problems encountered in our society today. By helping employees resolve difficulties in their lives, the district can make a contribution to their productivity and happiness both on and off the job.
Who pays for the services? Do I have to pay for my individual sessions?
Employees contribute to the cost of the EAP as part of the basic benefits package. However, you pay nothing when you go for individual EAP counseling sessions, which typically consist of four or fewer visits. If further services are needed through Cascade Centers, co-insurance or co-payments may be required.
