What are the major categories of counseling that EAP professionals provide?
There are quite a few, but most EAP professionals provide short-term counseling (typically 3-5 sessions per case) on drug and alcohol abuse and addiction, child welfare, health problems, disabilities, financial stress, mental health, family issues, aging parent, marriage counseling and critical incident stress management. EAP professionals also provide group training at the worksite or in nearby meeting facilities on a variety of topics.
