About the Course

Most of us spend a third of our lives in some workplace environment. Yet, therapists are often only hearing about the other two thirds. Working with an Employee Assistance Provider will give insight into that other third and help the therapist get a more well rounded picture of your client’s life. Scott Cullen-Benson, semi-retired EAP Professional with over 40 years experience in this work will describe the different types of Employee Assistance Programs and show how we can work together to assist your clients.

  • Discuss definitions and types of EAP programs

  • Learn descriptions of the “multiple customer” approach that is the special feature of EAP practice.

  • Discuss ways that EAP providers/clinicians can work with clinical providers to bring about a more complete resolution of clinical issues.
