What is the EAP?
The Charles County Government's Employee Assistance Program (EAP) functions to help you and your family if you encounter problems which can affect your job performance. Employee problems such as marital issues, job stress, grief, family or financial concerns, emotional or sexual abuse, depression, or chemical dependency can take their toll and often lead to fatigue, poor health, and impaired job performance. The EAP can assist you through individual intervention services, seminars, and workshops.
