International Employee Assistance Digital Archive

Awarded "Best Use of Technology" in EA Services 2019

 

In an attempt to preserve and widely disseminate research to grow the EA field, the International EA Digital Archive: A Knowledge Hub was born as a unique repository contributing to digitizing material that had previously only been available in hard copy published form. The founders of the Archive specifically designed this repository as an open access facility to allow people to access and submit materials from all over the world at no cost.  The Archive is hosted by the University of Maryland, Baltimore. The EA Archive is the first of its kind focused on employee assistance and is a resource that benefits the field both presently and in the future.  For more information, visit the EA Archive Website.

 

Currently during the Pandemic, we have focused on gathering Tips, sheets, Blogs, articles, videos & presentation on this topic - Simply put the term “ EAP and COVID 19” in the subject heading to find these materials.
