What is the EAP?

The Postal Service™ Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is a free, voluntary, and confidential program that offers assessment, referral, short-term counseling, and work/life consultation to postal employees and their families.

The EAP can help you resolve your personal issues, so you can be your best at work and at home. The EAP is designed to assist in the identification and resolution of personal, family, and workplace issues. Among other things, the EAP can help you with:

The most valuable asset of the Postal Service is its employees. EAP services provide the opportunity for employees to better balance their lives at home and work, thereby increasing their job satisfaction and productivity.

When Should You Call the EAP?

The EAP is not just for crisis situations, it is a life man­agement tool, designed to help you sort through life’s ups and downs. Call the EAP when you need a new perspective or when you need help identifying your options and making informed choices.

The maximum benefit of the EAP is gained through a proactive approach that addresses issues and concerns before they become problematic or interfere with your per­sonal or work life.
