Abstract
After more than 60 years of evolution, Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) provide mental health and other services to thousands of workers each year. However, only one state, California, has chosen to specifically regulate these programs as programs, and only two (North Carolina and Tennessee) have legislation regulating the professionals who provide EAP services. This article explores the regulation of mental health and other professionals working in the EAP framework and raises questions about the adequacy of self-regulation for programs and providers.
