Employee Assistance Program Summary

PBH Consulting Group’s Employee Assistance Program (EAP) has been providing quality services to many of Ocean County’s principal companies and organizations for almost three decades. An EAP is a benefit from the employer designed to assist employees with difficulties or issues. Employees receive a select number of confidential counseling/consultation sessions to address their concerns, and can access EAP appointments quickly and confidentially.

Experienced, licensed and credentialed clinicians, with a variety of clinical specialties are available to address the employees’ needs, including but not limited to; mood or stress problems, marital or family concerns, drug and/or alcohol assessments and substance abuse treatment, grief or trauma issues, crisis intervention, disaster response, behavioral concerns, and workplace-related problems.

Services can  include:

  • Professional Evaluation and Consultation for employees (and their family members if included in plan)
