St. John's employee assistance program reaccredited

St. John's Employee/Employer Assistance Services has recently been reaccredited by the Employee Assistance Society of North America. EASNA accreditation is reserved for employee assistance programs, or EAPs, that demonstrate that they meet or exceed the highest standards for EAP operations, services and ethics. EAPs receive accreditation through an extensive self-study over several months, as well as a site visit by nationally known EAP experts.

The accreditation process examines all aspects of the EAP's operations, including staff credentials, quality of programming and service, quality assurance activities, operational standards, finance and billing practices, resources, confidentiality, adherence to state and federal laws, and demonstration of high professional ethics.

St. John's EAP has been EASNA-accredited since 1996 when it was known as the Family Care Center.
