Employee Assistance Center Celebrates 30 Years of Improving Lives

(Grand Rapids MI) --- Employee Assistance Center (EAC) is celebrating 30 years of providing employee assistance programs to employers and employees.  The journey began in 1979, when a local company contacted Project Rehab and asked for assistance with alcoholism and drug problems in the workplace. After the initial contact and follow up, it became clear that there was a need for services for employees, and it went beyond just helping with substance use.  Project Rehab soon began an employee assistance program (EAP) called Employee Assistance Center, providing assistance with all areas of mental/behavioral health. 

Today, the mission of EAC, “Improving Lives...at Work and at Home” continues to advance, strengthening families and communities along the way.  EAC provides short-term counseling, training, consulting, and other services to a variety of client companies in the fields of health care, manufacturing, and nonprofits. 

EAC is part of Proaction Behavioral Health Alliance, a collection of not-for-profit organizations working together to improve lives.
