Flight Attendant Drug and Alcohol Program (FADAP)
Introducing the Flight Attendant Drug and Alcohol Program (FADAP). This website is available to all flight attendants, no matter what status you currently hold — active, furloughed, or even if you are on a leave status. FADAP is a substance-abuse prevention program, created and promoted for and by the flight attendant profession and funded by the FAA. Throughout this site you will find stigma free information on substance use, abuse and dependence. To learn more about this program click here.

What does the EAP Committee do?
What does the Employee Assistant Program Committee do?
The Association of Flight Attendants Employee Assistance Program (AFA EAP) is a confidential resource available to the members, their families and their partners to assist with personal, as well a work-related concerns. AFA EAP provides three distinct but interrelated services, including:
1) Assessment, support and resource referral
2) Advancement of professional standards through conflict resolution
3) Response to critical and traumatic incidents. AFA’s objective in providing these services is to enhance the health, safety and well-being of its union family with the highest quality of peer support available within the EAP industry.
Are EAP services confidential? Yes! Your contacts and discussions with the EAP are confidential. Information is only released in accordance with federal and state confidentiality regulations.
Does the EAP cost anything? No! Supported by your union dues since 1980, AFA-CWA’s nationally acclaimed EAP has provided free services to thousands of flight attendants, their families, and partners.
When should I call the EAP? Anytime! Or, as soon as you, your partner, or family feel like a problem is getting too difficult to handle alone. No matter how small or large the problem may be, AFA-CWA EAP can help.
What happens when I call the EAP? Good things! Your trained EAP peer representative can answer any questions you may have about EAP services available to you. The peer representative will listen to your concerns, answer any questions you may have, offer guidance and support, and assist you with locating resources. The only thing you have to lose is the problem.
How do I access the EAP? Many ways! You can contact your local peer representatives at the top right of this page.
MEC EAP Committee Chair
What does the Employee Assistant Program Committee do?
MEC EAP Chair Duties
The MEC EAP/Professional Standards Committee shall consist of the MEC EAP/Professional Standards Committee Chairperson and the Local EAP/Professional Standards Committee Chairperson from each council. EAP/Professional Standards Committee members will function in accordance with International EAP/PS Committee guidelines. The EAP Resource Manual and EAP Handbook are the written guidelines for Committee structure and functioning. All matters brought to the Committee’s attention will be handled with utmost confidentiality. AFA-CWA EAP/PS will coordinate and promote cooperation with other employee-represented groups in attempting to resolve conflicts that may arise out of working relationships. EAP/PS will be available to assist any Flight Attendant prior to, or following, a disciplinary process. The MEC and International EAP/PS discourage a Committee member from being present in any grievance hearing. EAP/PS does not evaluate performance, accuse or judge, punish, preach nor threaten. EAP/PS will help troubled Flight Attendants when problems affect their personal and professional lives, including referral to appropriate treatment resource or self-help group, and assistance in gaining necessary leave of absence. EAP members are knowledgeable of health and welfare plans as pertains to medical and psychiatric benefits as well as substance abuse issues. EAP members participate in CIRP crew debriefings and operational debriefings when EAP issues are involved. The committee will conduct ongoing education of the membership as to the function, scope and operation of the committee. Each Flight Attendant has a responsibility to exercise reasonable personal efforts to resolve a problem prior to contacting this committee for assistance. Flight Attendants are expected and encouraged to go to EAP/PS to attempt resolution of a conflict through peer efforts, rather than to request action from management.
