Employee Assistance Programming: Past, Present, and Future-Click Here
The EAP has traditionally been the looked upon as the service that offers alcohol & drug intervention and short-term counseling for employees of organizations. During the past 5 years, the EAP professional has been tasked with an Increasing number of responsibilities that extend well beyond the traditional EAP role. The EAP may be called upon to conduct mediation, intervene in resolution of departmental conflicts, and be prepared to offer CISD services or intervene in a potentially violent situation. In some areas, the EAP professional may be asked to organize a health promotion program or oversee the Workers Compensation programs. In short, the EAP professional is being increasingly tasked to assume more and more responsibilities for which they may or may not have training. Should the EAP professional limit their services to the traditional role of counselor or, in order to survive, must they expand their roles to include wider service organizations? This course will explore these issues through case studies, situational/problem solving exercises and text reading.
