Ah okay thanks for that. Sorry I should of explained why I was asking. I'm working on starting a nonprofit organization that helps people with mental health, substances use, and history of corrections with job placement and coaching and I didn't want to just replicate EAP but I didn't really know what it consisted of. I also want to include an employer education portion and I've been reading a lot about how employers rarely utilize EAP.

I've had consistent issues with holding down employment but I've never had disciplinary issues just struggle with relating and developing relationships with coworkers. I'm typically made fun of and bullied at work but I don't say anything to the employees. I have made complaints to my managers but I've always been told not to take it personally and that's about it.

I had one job where I fit in well until we got a new boss and there was a worker there who struggled a lot with family issues and substance use she told me a lot about her problems but no one ever offered her EAP and I didn't even know about it then but I know we had the program because I was a manager there and I recently asked my old boss and he told me the program did exist there but our HR lady never mentioned it to anyone.
