Kentucky Employee Assistance Program

The Kentucky Employee Assistance Program (KEAP) is dedicated to helping employees find solutions to the personal problems that may hinder their effectiveness at work.

Problems concerning marital, family, or emotional distress, alcoholism and drug abuse, financial or even medical issues can seriously diminish an individual's job performance. As a progressive employer the Commonwealth of Kentucky recognizes that there are positive, workable solutions to many of these problems that trouble employees.

State employees and their dependents are eligible for KEAP services. There is no cost for its information or referral services. All of your contact with KEAP is confidential as required by state and federal law. Employee involvement with KEAP is permitted on state time with the supervisor's prior approval. Supervisors may refer employees to KEAP when job performance deteriorates, however participation is voluntary.

If you or your dependents could benefit from this assessment and referral service, call the KEAP office for more information. In Frankfort call 502-564-5788, or use the toll-free 1-800-445-KEAP number from anywhere in the state. Kentucky State Police also have an Employee Assistance Program. They can be reached at 502-573-1719.
