EAP services help

Nearly 7 million Texans have a mental illness, according to recent data, and would benefit from treatment.

Many who are suffering believe they have little or no access to treatment. For some, that is true. But for employees with mental and emotional challenges, their workplace might have an Employee Assistance Program for access to mental health resources and treatment. These services have a positive effect on the workplace — from a rise in productivity to improved stress management to increased morale and employee loyalty.

With a study showing about 1 in 4 U.S. adults suffers from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year, the programs offer a road to recovery.
