Federal Employee Assistance Programs

All Federal agencies provide Employee Assistance Programs. The programs are cost-free to Federal employees and are designed to help employees effectively address and overcome problems. Basic EAP services include free, voluntary, short-term counseling and referral for various issues affecting employee mental and emotional well-being.

For a point of contact for your agency’s EAP, check your agency’s intranet or internet website, or contact your human resources office.

For general information, visit the U.S. Office of Personnel Management’s website at:
