Town of Saratoga
Welcome to the Town of Saratoga
Employee Assistance Program
Everyday stressors, as well as some of the unique difficulties involved in public service, can affect one’s life and have a real impact on their well-being. We want to help provide resources so that all Town staff members and first responder volunteers 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 mental health professionals practicing in Wyoming who have experience in assisting first responders, public employees, and others who have experienced psychological trauma.
Between July 1st and June 30th of each year, Town employees and household members will be provided with up to three hours of services, at no cost. To access services, use the QR codes below to get more information and to learn about your providers. You do not need a referral from anyone else, and you may remain anonymous if you wish. If you prefer to see your provider for longer than nine meetings, you may use your health insurance program to continue services.
If further assistance is needed, contact Dr. Jerry Post’s office at 307-214-4741.

They cannot reveal the content of sessions to anyone without the written consent of their client.
