  Educator'S Eap

  Jan 2007 - Present

  Educators cope with unique on-the-job stressors: budget cuts, students at risk, parental challenges and more.In addition, one in five educators will face a significant personal problem this year. Family issues, debt, legal matters, child or elder care – problems serious enough to diminish their effectiveness at school.Educators’ EAP is the only EAP specifically designed for teachers, administrators and staff, with twice the number of solutions for personal problems and a targeted menu of benefits and resources addressing the unique professional issues they face.With twice the level of services and benefits, overall utilization of Educators’ EAP is more than double that of a traditional EAP. Plus, 99% of those who access Educators’ EAP report that they are satisfied with services they received.No other EAP delivers the services or the results.
