Civilian wellness highlights financial well-being resources
The Department of the Air Force Civilian Wellness continues to support civilian employees and their families through resources designed to promote overall well-being and smarter life choices. One key offering is the Employee Assistance Program, which provides confidential financial support services at no cost to DAF civilians and their household members.
Through EAP, participants can receive help with budgeting and expense tracking, developing personalized debt-reduction plans, setting long-term financial goals such as retirement savings, and planning for future education expenses. These services are available year-round to help reduce financial stress and support long-term stability.
