The University provides a confidential Employee Assistance Program which provides assessment, short-term counseling, referral and follow-up services for eligible employees and members of their household. Family, marital, financial, or work-related problems are dealt with in a completely confidential manner by one of the EAP counselors. Employees and members of their household are eligible for free counseling; additional long term counseling is covered by most health plans. The cost of the EAP is paid by the University.
