We provide a wide range of services to meet your needs.

Any organization can benefit from using AdvantageEAP. Five areas of service that are provided by AdvantageEAP are: Family and Caregiving, Emotional Well-being, Health and Wellness, Daily Living, and Working Smarter.

Utilizing AdvantageEAP services improves morale, reduces absenteeism, and adds to the health and longevity of each participant. We are instrumental in keeping people on a healthy living path!

**Choosing an appropriate Employee Assistance Program for your organization can be tricky because of the diversity of each staff member. But, if you plan with some key points in mind, you can meet every persons needs: 

• It is estimated that over ¼ of the population is experiencing some sort of emotional stress, anxiety, depression, etc…
• Up to 20% of a company’s employees may not be working to full capacity because they do not receive the help they need.
• An employer sponsored EAP program can reduce an employer’s disability costs, medical costs and pharmacy costs.

AdvantageEAP, a program of Family Service and Community Mental Health Center has been providing services to the businesses of our community for over twenty years. AdvantageEAP can help reduce sick leave by up to 40%, work related accidents by up to 70%, workers compensation claims by 25%, and lost time by up to 50%.

AdvantageEAP utilizes proven best-practices and cost-effective solutions to many of the problems employees and family members face in our uncertain world.

Confidentiality is a requirement and a guarantee that AdvantageEAP makes to businesses we represent. Without it, an EAP wouldn’t work. Our counselors are specially trained to handle delicate issues, and have the knowledge and skills to assist you in solving your problems. AdvantageEAP services are available for the employee and their immediate family members. Each company selects the covered benefits that work for them. If an employee has other needs, we help them to find the most effective services.
