EAP Peer Committee Representative Recruitment

Tuesday, August 1, 2023

The APFA Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is looking for Flight Attendants to join the volunteer APFA EAP Peer Committee to provide support and assistance to Flight Attendants at each crew base.

What is the APFA EAP Peer Committee?

APFA Employee Assistance Program (EAP) will consist of Flight Attendants volunteering their time to provide support for Flight Attendants and their family members, offering confidential assistance with personal and work-related concerns.

Members of the APFA EAP will provide services offering emotional support, referral information, assistance with conflict resolution, and support following a traumatic event, both on and off the job.

APFA EAP committee members will attend a three-day basic APFA EAP peer training supported by APFA. APFA EAP training will be held in Baltimore, MD on October 24-26, 2023. Following completion of basic APFA EAP peer training, you will begin your role as a base team member of the APFA EAP.

The APFA EAP National Coordinator will be responsible for ensuring that every APFA EAP Committee Member is provided with ongoing case consultation support.
