DHS/ALL/PIA-066 DHS Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

Each Federal Executive Branch agency is required to have an Employee Assistance Program (EAP), which is a voluntary, confidential program that helps employees and their family members work through various life challenges that may adversely affect job performance, health, and personal well-being. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) EAP services include assessment, counseling, and referrals for employees and family members with personal or work-related concerns such as job stress, financial issues, legal matters, family problems, office conflicts, and alcohol and substance abuse disorders. EAP assistance may be sought by the employee, by a family member, or at the recommendation of an employee’s supervisor. This Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) is being conducted because DHS EAP service providers collect personally identifiable information (PII) about individuals who receive assistance through the program.
