Public Safety EAP
Public safety responders are different. They put their lives in jeopardy every day. They have different stressors. Public Safety EAP is designed to address the specific issues that public safety personnel and their families face every day. Our Peak Performance Benefits are redefining the EAP. We start with all the traditional EAP counseling services designed to address significant life problems and we add Work/Life benefits to address the everyday problems involved in juggling work and family. But that’s not all. We go one step further to deliver benefits designed to enhance quality of life not just for your employees and their family members, but for managers and supervisors, too. And we help all employees to achieve their Peak Performance best through training, coaching and wellness. Check the topics below to learn more.
