ABOUT US
The Employee Assistance Professionals Association (EAPA) is a global membership organization for employee assistance professionals. With members in over 40 countries, EAPA is the world’s most relied upon source of information and support for and about the employee assistance profession.
Employee Assistance Programs grew out of the occupational alcoholism movement. In 1971, the Association of Labor and Management Administrators and Consultants on Alcoholism (ALMACA) was formed. Organized labor was a key participant in the founding of the association; which aligned with the labor movement’s strong belief that workers should help other workers and their families address issues affecting their health and welfare. In 1989, the association's name was officially changed to Employee Assistance Professionals Association (EAPA).
The EAPA Labor chapter was established in 2017 to provide a venue for networking, education and support for EAPA members who are labor affiliated or labor friendly.
