Welcome to Rocky Mountain Research

Rocky Mountain Research (RMR) is a specialized consulting practice that specifically focuses on EAP, work/life, and wellness benefit delivery models. A variety of services are offered to academics, corporate directors, external vendors, and professional associations aimed at evaluating, developing, and implementing delivery service models. Currently, Patricia is working with Chestnut Health Systems on a workplace inclusion scale (WIS). But Dr. Herlihy’s main focus these days is her work with Professor Jodi Frey of the University of Maryland on the International Employee Assistance Digital Archive: www.eaarchive.org.

Archive

The International Employee Assistance Digital Archive (www.EAArchive.org) or Knowledge Hub is an open-access global repository that houses publicly available original works, historical documents, current research, and multimedia of interest to employee assistance professionals and the broader field of workplace behavioral health. In 2013, Drs. Patricia Herlihy and Jodi Frey created this repository in an attempt to gather a plethora of information related to the EA field in one location. This archive is now entering its 12th year and has grown to include thousands of original works from over 1,000 authors around the globe. Currently, this resource has over 1 million combined page views and downloads and has been visited by nearly every country in the world.
