HEALTH & WELLNESS RESOURCES
EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (EAP)
Unlimited phone support Talk to a licensed professional counselor or work/life specialist over the phone. Compassionate professionals are there to listen, help you define your issues and put you in touch with expert resources in your community for additional support. To reach a counselor 24/7, call 800-854-1446 . Three free in-person counseling sessions When phone support isn’t enough, you or a family member can take advantage of three in-person visits per issue with a licensed professional counselor, included at no additional charge with your EAP. Your counselor will provide short- term support and advice and help you find local resources for ongoing care, if necessary.
