Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

It can be difficult to balance the needs of work, home, and family relationships. Often times, the stress of day-to-day life is temporary. But occasionally, stress can become a major problem that interferes with an employee’s well-being.

The university’s Employee Assistance Program (EAP) provides full-time appointed employees and their ousehold members with counseling services. These services are available by telephone (for assessment or referral) or face-to-face, and are provided by qualified EAP counselors who can be reached 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. All contacts with the EAP are kept confidential, in accordance with federal and state laws. Call toll free: 888-234-8327.

The following are examples of issues for which EAP counselors may be of assistance:

• Stress or anxiety
• Workplace conflict
• Alcohol or drug concerns
• Divorce or separation
• Relationship problems
• Child or elderly parent issues
• Loss of spouse or loved one

Services provided by EAP include initial assessment, problem-solving, and support. If appropriate, the EAP can assist employees or their household members by making a referral to a qualified counselor through the caller’s medical plan. For more information, go to www.indiana.edu/~uhrs/benefits.
