Hattiesburg Public Schools 

Employee Assistance Program

Hattiesburg Public School District Employee Assistance Program provides employees help with personal problems that may interfere with job performance or the quality of their lives. 

EAP offers a variety of confidential services to employees and their families including free assessments, referrals, counseling, and educational information to assist in resolving personal problems. 

Two Avenues of Referral

Self-Referral:An employee recognizes that there is a problem and calls the EAP to request an assessment. After the assessment, a recommendation and referral will be made and counseling or treatment may then begin.

Supervisor Referral:A supervisor, recognizing a decline in job performance and suspecting that personal problems may be a significant factor, directs the employee to obtain an assessment from EAP. After the assessment has been completed, a recommendation and referral will be made and counseling or treatment may begin if agreed to by the employee.

All contacts with EAP are handled professionally and are strictly confidential.
