The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) has launched a service called EAPrefer, which it describes as “a revolutionary new program connecting Employee Assistance Professionals with the Network Providers who need them.” At first glance, this may appear to be a positive development for the EA profession. However, a closer look reveals that the EAPrefer materials infer clearly that a social work degree and license, along with appropriate professional liability insurance, qualifies a clinician to be considered and promoted as an “employee assistance professional.” Many EAPA members have expressed your serious concern about this to the EAPA Board and EACC, and we, in turn, have tried to reach out to NASW to attempt to develop a cooperative approach that accomplishes their goals, but also respects the importance and distinctiveness of the employee assistance body of knowledge and the CEAP credential. To better understand EAPA's concerns with EAPrefer please view the following documents: EAPA President Jeff Christie's letter to EAPA Members. View it here: http://www.eapassn.org/files/public/EAPreferLetter.pdf The EACC's letter to NASW. View it here: http://www.eapassn.org/files/public/EACCLetter.pdf We encourage all EAPA members and CEAPs, particularly those who are also NASW members, to reach out to local and state NASW leadership to express their concerns. We believe that NASW, through the EAPrefer program, is encouraging its members to practice beyond the scope of their expertise. To assist in expressing this and other concerns, we have developed a letter “template” that members can use or draw from to communicate with NASW.
