Welcome to the Converse County Sheriff’s Office
Employee Assistance Program
The Converse County Sheriff’s Office has established an Employee Assistance Program to assist all employees. This program provides confidential access to health professionals to assist employees with any type of emotional distress. This program provides access to a network of specially selected professionals that practice in Converse County and throughout Wyoming. The Employee Assistance Program can help with everyday stressors and difficulties employees experience in and out of the workplace. These stressors can affect your life and have an impact on your well–being.
The Converse County Sheriff wants to help provide resources so that employees can quickly and conveniently get in touch with a qualified provider. These services are in complete privacy! Between July 1st through June 30th of each year, Office employees will be provided up to three sessions at no charge. If you need additional services you may use your health insurance benefits and each of the providers listed will accept our insurance.
To contact one of the qualified providers, simply select a provider and email or call them directly. You do not need a referral and this will remain strictly confidential.

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 the Converse County Sheriff's Office or Dr. Post without your specific consent.
