How Is EASNA Different from Other Employee Assistance Associations?

EASNA is a bi-national association whose members consist of individuals, organizations, employers, and students in Canada and the US.

Comprised of thought leaders and change agents, EASNA is focused on ensuring that the EA field continues to grow and flourish by broadening its base of engaged and committed stakeholders. We are committed to encouraging high standards of quality through a unique accreditation program, research efforts, educational events, publications, and online resources.

EASNA provides a forum for continuous educational and networking opportunities that promote professional development. We share topical news and information that affect the health and performance of individuals and organizations and encourage and promote the sharing of EA best practices and technologies.
