Abstract

This paper examines the prevalence of employee assistance programs (EAPs) in Ontario based on a survey of 38 public health units in the province. The findings reveal that only 42 percent of the respondent agencies provide assistance to their employees due to a number of issues associated with the development of these programs, but public health units tend to have a higher level of EAPs in place than the general workforce.
