The Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is a diagnostic, consultation, and referral service for employees experiencing personal, relationship or work-related difficulties. The program provides an experienced clinician to help guide you to solutions.
Consultations are strictly confidential consistent with applicable laws pertaining to mental health professionals. No one in the institution will be informed of your contacts with these carefully selected specialists.
Program Eligibility
All employees and their significant others, including spouses, partners, dependents and children living at home.
Program Costs
The initial sessions and follow-up contacts are provided at no cost. In the event that continued treatment is recommended, mental health and counseling services may be available separate from EAP in your health insurance plans. These recommendations or referrals are subject to your plan’s deductions and co-payments.
