Assistance and Information Resources on the Web

The EAP has selected several Web sites for assistance with personal and workplace issues. Other Web resources are available, but the following sites were chosen as a starting point, and many of them include links to other very well established and informational sites. Several of the Web sites are government or national association based. Some sites may be listed several times under different headings.

Please Note: The EAP is not responsible for maintaining the information contained on these external sites, but we do try to make sure that the links are current. If you have problems accessing a linked page, please contact the EAP and let us know which link is not working.
