An Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is an employee support program designed to enhance the emotional, mental and general psychological wellbeing of all employees and it includes services for immediate family members.
If your organisation does not yet have an EAP, consider the following:
45 % of Australians will experience a mental health condition in their lifetime.
