IAM Here for Our Members: IAM Employee Assistance Program

Approximately 30 members recently took the initial EAP I class at the IAM’s Winpisinger Education Center in Hollywood, Md. The class is the first level of training within an Employee Assistance Program (EAP).

Members can learn how to identify and assist fellow members experiencing personal issues like addiction, stress, or mental health concerns, providing confidential support and referrals to necessary services. EAP I is the introductory course to become an EAP representative within the IAM organization.

The IAM’s EAP 1 class:

• Equips IAM members with the basic knowledge and skills needed to help colleagues facing personal challenges by providing confidential support and directing them to appropriate resources.
• Covers topics such as identifying signs of potential problems, active listening, crisis intervention, referral procedures, and understanding different types of personal issues.
• First level in a series of EAP training courses, with subsequent levels (EAP II, EAP III, etc.) offering more advanced skills and knowledge.
