What is EAP/ Professional Standards?

APFA’s EAP Program provides emotional support and assistance to Flight Attendants and their families. APFA Employee Assistance Program can offer Flight Attendant peer support in addition to assessments and referrals. APFA EAP understands that mental health issues can affect anyone at any time, occur in almost every family and workplace, and can adversely impact your quality of work and home life. If you, or someone you know suffers from a mental health concern we can help you find the resources you need.

Your APFA EAP can assist with finding resources for: Anxiety, finding a Counselor, Coping/Stress, Depression, DOT Testing Concerns, Eating Disorders, Gambling, Grief, Health Concerns, Mental Health, Emotional Distress, Job Loss/Unemployment, Substance Abuse Information, and Trauma.

APFA’s Professional Standards operates as a self-help aid among flying partners by providing conflict resolution strategies to those in need. Flight Attendants are encouraged to contact the APFA Employee Assistance Program to resolve conflict rather than requesting action from management.
