Tri County EAP is a service for healthy people!
Healthy people get stuck! Most strong healthy people
need a life adjustment once in a while. The fast
pace and rapid changes in today’s world can be
confusing and at times almost overwhelming. It is
easy to lose sight of goals or get out of touch with
personal values. It is easy to lose a sense of self
and purpose. Relationships get strained and it
becomes an ordeal just trying to keep up. A little
help can go a long way. Our services are aimed at
early intervention in a non-threatening manner.
How does Tri County EAP relate to other community
services?
Tri-County EAP maintains relations with a variety of
community service agencies. Our staff will refer
people to self-help groups when it is appropriate.
If specialty services are needed, such a psychiatric
care of detoxification, we are able to refer to
other local providers.
