The Employee Assistance Program is Here for You!

WHAT IS IAM EAP?

The IAM Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is a confidential, worksite-based program designed to benefit members and their dependents in the identification and resolution of personal problems or concerns that may adversely affect their job performance.

The International Association of Machinists’ believes it is in the interest of the member, his/her family, the IAM, and its partner companies to provide help for members experiencing difficulties.

Alcohol Awareness Month

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and Managing Grief During the Holiday Season (2024 Update)

What is seasonal affective disorder?

Many people go through short periods when they feel sad or unlike their usual selves. Sometimes, these mood changes begin and end when the seasons change. Many people feel “down” or have the “winter blues” when the days get shorter in the fall and winter and feel better in the spring when longer daylight hours return.
