II. Coordination of Services City of Elk River agrees to work with the EAP representative in informing its employees of this Agreement and the services which are available to them. III. Use of Name City of Elk River agrees to allow Sand Creek EAP, LLC to list City of Elk River as a customer on promotional materials. IV. Eligibility EAP is a service intended to provide short term assessment and brief counseling services to a wide variety of personal and work-related stressors. The service is intended to evaluate relevant information regarding the history of the concerns brought to the EAP by the client, the current status of the concerns and the impact they are having on the client. The EAP’s goal is the construction of an action plan to help the client(s) deal with their concerns in a successful fashion. Sometimes the action plan can be successfully implemented exclusively within the EAP. In other cases, the action plan may entail referring the client to a variety of community resources that can provide longer term or specialized services that are beyond or outside the scope of the EAP. The EAP benefit is focused on the individual client whenever an employee or covered family member runs up against individual events, conditions or circumstances that don’t envelop other members of the family system. In that case, the individual client is eligible to use up to a certain number of counseling sessions clearly defined in the EAP contract. When an event (e.g. – marital/relationship struggles; divorce; death of a family member; etc.) impacts part or all of an entire family unit, the EAP benefit is available for all family members to use collectively in the initial stages of addressing the impact of that family event. The EAP sessions are intended to define a broader plan of action that includes all involved family members. In many situations that involve multiple family members, the variety of counseling and emotional support needs that exist oftentimes goes beyond the EAP benefit. When that is the case, our goal is to help all impacted family members utilize the EAP benefit in a collective fashion to help guide them towards additional support and counseling services, either individually or as a family. V. Employee Participation A policy of the EAP is that an employee’s participation in the EAP will affect neither future employment, nor advancement, nor protect such employee from disciplinary action for continued substandard performance. VI. Reporting Sand Creek EAP, LLC will provide quarterly reports on program utilization. No information on individual employees will be released outside of Sand Creek EAP without the written consent of the employee.
