Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
 
The Carlisle Community School district partners with Employee & Family Resources (EFR) to administer our EAP.  We are pleased to offer this free and confidential benefit to our entire staff and their family.  It is our hope that our staff takes advantage of these services if the need arises.  
 
What is an EAP?
An EAP is a confidential resource that helps employees deal with stress management, depression, anxiety, legal and financial concerns, family conflict, parenting challenges, substance abuse and more.  The program includes up to 6 sessions of counseling per person per issue.  It is available any time day or night every day of the year. 
 
Who is eligible?
The EAP program is available to all full time and part time staff members and their immediate family members.  Children should be a dependent that lives in your home or is in college or the military. 
 
Where do I start?
