    Employee Assistance Program

Feeling stressed? Having financial, alcohol, drug, or marital/family problems? Call your Employee Assistance Program (EAP)! The EAP is there to provide 24-hour telephone counseling, and face to face counseling by appointment, for all kinds of problems. The EAP is a no-cost, absolutely confidential source of help, and is available to you and members of your family. The program is separate from your medical benefits, so it doesn't tap into your deductibles or your co-pay dollars, and no problem is too big or too small for the EAP to help with.

Iowa State NRCS' Employee Assistance Program is operated by THE SAND CREEK GROUP, Ltd. If you need help, call Sand Creek at 1-888-243-5744 or visit their website at http://www.sandcreekeap.com.
