Information for Counsellors 

The Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for teachers is a jointly sponsored effort between NLTA, the provincial government, and the School Boards Association. It is in place to assist teachers who may be experiencing personal or work-related problems that could affect work performance. It is designed to provide confidential help at the earliest possible time before problems become more serious.

All counsellors must be pre-approved by the EAP for teachers to be eligible for coverage.

Eligibility criteria:

• Minimum of five years of post-graduate counselling experience in a clinical setting.
• Extensive experience in mental health assessment, counselling, and case management.
• Therapists cannot be employed by NLSchools or Conseil Scolaire Francophone Provincial (CSFP).

*Please be advised that the Employee Assistance Program for teachers is not currently inviting applications for potential counsellors.  

For EAP pre-approved counsellor use:

• Counsellor Invoice Form
• Teacher Verification Form
  *All invoices must have a completed Teacher Verification Form. Verification must be attached to the billing invoice in order to be processed. Invoices that are submitted without this requirement will not be approved.
