Mills Police Department
Welcome to the Mills Police Department
Employee Assistance Program
The Mills Police Department has established a program to assist PD employees in coping with some of the unique stressors involved in Law Enforcement work. We want to help provide resources so that Police Department members can quickly, conveniently, and in complete privacy, get in touch with a qualified provider who stands ready to assist with any emotional or psychological issue.
The Employee Assistance Program provides access to a network of specially selected professionals with experience working with first responders and trauma veterans and who are practicing in Wyoming.
Between July 1st and June 30th of each year, Mills Police Department employees will be provided with up to 3 hours of services at no cost to them.
To access services, simply select a provider from the group and email or phone them directly. You do not need a referral from anyone else, and you may remain anonymous. If you prefer to see your provider for longer than 3 meetings, you may use your health insurance program to continue services. Alternatively, contact Dr. Jerry Post’s office at admin@postwyo.com for further assistance.

How do I know that my sessions will be private?
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 the Mills Police Department or Dr. Post without your specific consent.
Who administers the EAP?
