In today’s fast-paced world, many of us are juggling more than ever. Work stress, family responsibilities, financial worries, and personal challenges can feel overwhelming. It is no surprise that mental health concerns are rising across all professions and walks of life. That is why programs like the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) are so important.
The Mental Health and Recovery Services Board of Allen, Auglaize, and Hardin Counties understands the importance of providing easy and affordable mental health support at work. That is why the EAP is free for eligible small businesses in our area. It gives employees and their families a private and straightforward way to access help when they need it most.
The EAP connects employees to licensed counselors. There are no long waits, no insurance issues, and no high costs that often accompany other types of care. Whether someone is feeling anxious, grieving a loss, dealing with family conflict, feeling burned out, or just overwhelmed, they can talk to a counselor. Many people are seen within just a few days. Getting help quickly can prevent small problems from escalating into larger ones.
When employees feel supported, everyone benefits. Having a safe and private space to discuss personal or work-related issues helps employees stay focused, resilient, and engaged. That is good for individuals, families, workplaces, and the whole community.
The EAP is just one way the MHRSB works to promote prevention, early help, and access to mental health services at home, at work, and in the community.
The Employee Assistance Program can help you find solutions to whatever is troubling you. This free benefits program is funded by the Mental Health and Recovery Services Board of Allen, Auglaize, and Hardin Counties.
