The History of Employee Assistance Programs in the United States

Abstract

In April 2016, the Employee Assistance Research Foundation (EARF) released a request for proposals to fund the EAP History Project. Dale Masi, PhD, President and CEO of Masi Research Consultants, Inc., was awarded the grant to provide a comprehensive look at the seventy-year history of EAPs in the U.S. This book is the first part in this effort, which includes the historical data of the field using the social science literature, trade publications, government documents, and other relevant sources.
