NIEAPA President's Message

I am honored and thrilled to introduce myself as the newly elected President of the Northern Illinois Employee Assistance Professionals Association (NIEAPA) Chapter. This is a role I take on with a deep sense of purpose and dedication to advancing the Employee Assistance field while building upon the strong foundation laid by my predecessors.

As we move forward, I am committed to fostering collaboration, innovation, and mutual support among our members. Our work is at the heart of improving workplace well-being, supporting individuals through difficult times, and helping organizations thrive. Together, I believe we can strengthen our community and make a meaningful impact across the behavioral health and Employee Assistance sectors.

I am excited about the opportunities we have to engage with one another, including:

  • Annual Conference: I warmly invite you to join us at our upcoming NIEAPA Annual Conference on June 3, 2025. It will be an excellent opportunity to connect, share knowledge, and showcase our collective expertise.
  • Chapter Meetings and Networking Events: Our five annual chapter meetings and networking opportunities offer a chance to learn and grow together while addressing challenges and embracing emerging trends in EAP.
  • Working Together for the Future: Whether through mentoring, sharing innovative ideas, or simply exchanging experiences, your contributions will be invaluable as we continue to shape the direction of NIEAPA and its role in the greater Employee Assistance Professionals Association (EAPA) network.

I am eager to work alongside each of you to promote the mission of NIEAPA, strengthen our professional community, and elevate the incredible work being done by our members.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me directly if you have suggestions, ideas, or goals you’d like to see prioritized during my term. Let’s make this an era of growth, collaboration, and impact.

Thank you for your ongoing commitment to the work we do. I look forward to meeting and collaborating with you at our events and beyond.

Cheryl Bristor-Wilson, LCSW, CADC, CEAP (she/her)

  RESOURCE DIRECTORY & BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PROGRAMS

The Resource Directory is a central source of services that fall under the EAP umbrella and is a great tool for all.  We encourage you to use and share with your colleagues.

Please use the Resource Directory if you are looking for up to date information on treatment centers' recent changes, additions or reduction of services. The link also provides contact information for each center's outreach professional.

This list has been provided by the Chicagoland Professional Liaison Association, which is an organization for outreach professionals in the behavioral health field working in the Greater Chicagoland area. We thank the group for sharing this information with their NIEAPA colleagues.
