LPD Employee Assistance Program FAQs

The EAP network consists of counselors who are experienced with first responders and/or trauma survivors who stand ready to assist LPD employees in identifying issues and planning care. EAP providers are located around the state for improved access to care.

The three sessions provided by the program are meant to support planning services. The City of Laramie  health insurance program can be employed for an indefinite number of sessions involving a modest copay. Workers Compensation benefits may be employed for work-related incidents. The LPD Administrator may approve additional sessions on a case-by-case basis.

Your State of Wyoming health insurance is your primary resource for medical and mental health care. The EAP is meant to make it easier to connect with suitable providers and to access care. It is a wellness program.

You may be referred by a supervisor or by Dr. Post if he is consulted. Referrals are never mandatory, however. You may self-refer by contacting a provider directly by email or telephone to schedule an appointment. You should expect a response within 24 hours. If you need to contact Dr. Jerry Post for assistance, please call 307-631-4565.

EAP network providers are private practitioners who enter into a client-therapist relationship with those who are referred or who self-refer. They are required by law and ethical standards to honor confidentiality, subject to legal exceptions they will describe. They cannot reveal the content of sessions to anyone without the written consent of their client. Your case will not be discussed with anyone associated with LPD or Dr. Post.
