Mission

It is the mission of EAP Florida to support the EA profession, including the certification of EA professionals (CEAP), EA Program Certification and other activities that enhance our profession and the skills of those who work in this challenging field.

EAP Florida membership consists of four categories:

	Regular Voting Member - An individual actively and principally engaged as a consultant to business, industry or governmental organizations in the development and implementation of EAP’s in Florida, internal or external EA professional, or provider of treatment and other services to EAP clients.
	Student Member - A full time student in a formal course of study related to any aspect of the EAP field.
	Director Emeritus -  An honorary position for an individual approved by the Executive Board.  Member Emeritus will be entitled to complimentary lifetime membership and registration at all EAP Florida conferences, as well as privileges afforded a Regular Voting Member.
	Organizational Member - An organization, business, or division of an organization actively engaged in clinical/behavioral services related to EAP’s. The organizational member may designate up to three individuals as voting members.

Persons appropriate for membership include EAP and Human Resource professionals and consultants, Union Member Assistance Professionals, coordinators/consultants, individuals in the clinical and other professions who provide services for EAP’s, and students interested in any aspect of employee assistance programming.

Meetings  

Regular meetings are held quarterly in January, April, July, and October. An annual conference and biannual election of officers are held at the April meeting. Meetings provide members with the opportunity to network and socialize. In addition, CEU’s and PDH’s can be earned by attending the workshops held during the meetings. A nominal fee is charged for these events.

Employee Assistance Professionals

EA professionals are increasingly being called upon to advise their organizations and human resource departments on various issues. These issues include FMLA, SAP services, risk management, critical incidence/stress management, work/life, conflict management, disability management, wellness, OSHA/safety, drug free workplace, threat assessment, workplace violence, welfare-to-work, and outplacement and retirement.
