Jorgensen/Brooks Employee Assistance Programs requires that counselors possess licensure or certification (specific to state in which they practice), masters or doctorate degree.

What types of problems are covered by the EAP?
Jorgensen Brooks Group EAP provides assistance with substance abuse, family issues, financial problems, addictions, relationship issues, depression, work-related concerns, child and elder care issues and other personal concerns.

What if I need services beyond the EAP?
90% of Jorgensen Brooks Group client’s issues are resolved without need of referral. Should you need assistance beyond the EAP, your EAP counselor will facilitate a referral to a self-help group, a behavioral health professional, an attorney, physician, treatment center or other resource. Once referred, the employee is financially responsible for the cost of these services. Our EAP counselor will also assist you with utilizing your insurance plan when necessary.

Does my insurance company have access to EAP records?
NO. When your company contracted with Jorgensen/Brooks for a full-service EAP, they purchased a free-standing EAP that is SEPARATE from any insurance plan. This is an extra safeguard for you, because no insurance company has access to your EAP information.

How do you define “family member” or “dependent”?
Someone who is a legal dependent or significant other to the employee and/or living in the same household. If you are not sure whether someone is covered by the program, please call. We frequently serve dependent parents in the home, as well as significant life partners.
