Faculty and Staff Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

Services for Employeees

The Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is available for faculty, staff, and their family members to receive or locate help with personal, professional, or any type of problem.

EAP services are free and confidential and include screening and referral, problem solving, crisis intervention, consultation and workshops.

The EAP office provides brief therapy which includes up to 3 sessions about any one issue. If one needs more than 3 sessions of counseling the EAP will provide you with a list of referrals of specialists in the Columbia community who can help. We do all we can to work with you to help make sure that the referral resource provided to you is covered by your insurance and is a quality counselor. If one does not have insurance, EAP staff members always take into consideration the financial situation of an individual in arranging referrals.

Some of the most common concerns that people using EAP services include:

• Personal Relationship
• Job Stress
• Conflict with Others on the Job
• Emotional/Psychological
• Family/Marital Problems
• Career Change
• Grief and Loss
• Legal Issues
• Health Problems
• Alcohol/Drug Abuse
• Financial Pressures
• Eating Disorders

If you or if there is someone you work with that you know is struggling in one of the above areas feel free to call 882-6701.
