How the EAP Works

The EAP telephone lines are available 24/7 - no one is sent to an automated system. Each call is answered by a masters-level clinician who manages each case from beginning to end, including follow-up. Solutions may include meeting with a mental health counselor for up to three face-to-face visits, negotiating Medical Insurance benefits, referrals to community resources, attorneys, childcare, eldercare or financial services.

79% of callers indicated that their work performance had improved as a result of contacting the EAP1.

Claimant Assist

Participants receive access to masters-degreed counselors 24/7, up to three in-person sessions, legal assistance, financial consultation, childcare and eldercare referrals, and memorial planning assistance (for Life Insurance beneficiaries).
