EAPA Greater Toledo Chapter

The Greater Toledo Chapter of EAPA originated in the late 1970s as the Northwest Association of Alcoholism and Employee Assistance Programs.

The organization was renamed EAST (Employee Assistance Society of Toledo) in the mid-1980s and held monthly meetings for networking and education.

In 1990, the organization decided to affiliate with the international Employee Assistance Professionals Association (EAPA).

EAPA is an international association of approximately 7,000 members representing labor and management in both public and private sectors. EAPA adheres to a Code of Ethics, Standards and Professional Guidelines, sponsors a certification exam, continuing education, and promotes service delivery emphasizing a core technology.

Employee Assistance Programs provide work organizations with the means to improve job performance and behavioral health through assistance.
