TriHealth EAP provides assessment and counseling for employees and immediate family members of companies that contract for TriHealth EAP. There is no problem too large or too small to bring to TriHealth EAP. During the first session, you and your counselor will discuss the goal(s) of your counseling and develop a written plan of action. If longer-term counseling or specialized care is needed, your counselor will refer you to a qualified professional or organization in the community. The services of TriHealth EAP are confidential, complying with all state and federal laws.

The nature of brief counseling may differ, depending on the presenting issue. However, some of what may occur includes learning more effective communication techniques, learning more effective parenting techniques, learning how to be assertive, learning more effective problem solving and negotiation styles, learning how to manage anger, learning how to be more organized, and learning how to manage stress.
The majority of problems that employees and family members bring to counseling can be improved and/or resolved in brief counseling. If longer-term counseling or specialized care is needed, your counselor will refer you to a qualified professional or organization in the community.

TriHealth EAP offers telephone counseling as a possible alternative to coming in-person to one of the TriHealth EAP offices. In most cases, the clients meet in-person with the counselor at least for the first session. Then, if appropriate, and the decision to continue counseling by phone is mutually agreed upon by the client and the counselor, the client will have the option of continuing his/her EAP care by phone. This option is not available to clients who are referred to TriHealth EAP by their company as a result of job performance issues. Telephone counseling may be particularly convenient for people with very crowded and changing schedules; those with physical disabilities or limitations; those with family obligations that make travel time difficult, and for those who may have to negotiate difficult geographic distances. It is not appropriate for marital and family counseling, counseling with children, and certain problem areas, such as significant depression or anxiety.

The majority of problems presented can be improved or resolved through brief counseling. If the client and the counselor decide that additional services for specialized or longer care are required from an outside resource, a referral will be made. Your exact need, benefit coverage, and a convenient location will be considered before the referral is made.

On occasion, the client and the counselor will agree that a referral needs to be made to an appropriate community service or program, to help the client with a particular problem. One example of a community service program that is often utilized is Credit Counseling for clients who need help with financial difficulties. Another example could be a referral to Alcoholics Anonymous for a client who is in the early stages of alcoholism. Often these referrals coincide with on-going EAP counseling.
