BJC Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is the premier program in the metropolitan St. Louis area. We have successfully implemented EAP programs in the private and public sectors, including health-care, industry, financial services, education, government and retail. Because EAP clients represent a broad range of industries and work environments, we have developed a reputation for responding to complex, diverse needs and situations.

EAP is a not-for-profit organization. Formerly known as Behavioral Health Partners, EAP was established in 1972 through Christian Hospital, a BJC HealthCare facility, and was the first health-care provider to implement an EAP in the St. Louis area. 

As a BJC HealthCare facility, EAP shares in its national recognition and acclaimed clinical, educational, and cutting-edge technological resources and its financial strength. EAP is a division of BJC Behavioral Health and shares its rich history of designing and providing innovative behavioral health care, preventive and wellness services that support organizations, institutions and individuals.

Our mission, vision and values guide our work.

To improve the mental health and well-being of the people and communities we serve.

Partnerships that create communities of hope, charged with opportunities for people from all walks of life to successfully build and pursue their dreams.

• Excellence -- We strive to be the best in all we do yet remain humble in our success
• Respect -- We strive to treat people with dignity, respect and kindness regardless of our differences
• Integrity -- We operate with honesty and ethics as the means to accomplish our objectives; the end never justifies the means
• Teamwork -- We accomplish great things together that exceed what we could accomplish individually

EAP includes supportive services for supervisors who may deal with behavior or performance concerns. EAP emphasizes prevention, early use of services and confidential problem resolution. 

Licensed, masters or doctorate level clinicians provide our services. Our counselors have extensive experience and capabilities. Consistent quality of treatment results from thorough case review and monitoring of staff and affiliate providers. 

EAP combines the flexibility and accessibility of a local affiliate with the resources of a national program.
