Nov. 17, 2025

The Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is here to make life easier for you—whether you’re managing stress, navigating family responsibilities, or simply need someone to talk to. This confidential, no-cost benefit is available to all staff and faculty and is designed to support your mental, emotional, and financial well-being. Best of all, it’s easy to use: you can access help 24/7 by phone, online, or through the mobile app.

There are many ways the EAP can help. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, you can schedule counseling sessions by phone, video, or in person. Need financial guidance? The program offers consultations to help with budgeting or debt management. Facing a legal question? EAP provides access to qualified attorneys for initial advice. It also offers resources for family support, including childcare and eldercare planning, and connects you with licensed professionals for mental health concerns like anxiety, depression, or burnout.Learn more about the program by visiting the Carelon Wellbeing portal to get started.
