The VESS employee assistance program is available to all DPS staff and their families. Services are provided by licensed mental health professionals and include individual and family therapy, stress management, and wellness coaching. Programs are designed to build employees’ resilience, respond to employee needs, and support employees through recovery from stressful events.
