Under our agreement with Midwest EAP Solutions, any employee or immediate family member may seek up to three counseling sessions per person per incident with professional staff with no charge to the employee. If additional assistance is indicated, the EAP will help you obtain the service you need within the limits of what you can afford. A brochure telling about Midwest EAP Solutions is available in the Office of Human Resources.

The EAP is available to assist you with any problem which affects the way you feel about yourself or your relationship with others. Some of the common concerns which the EAP can help with are:

- stress or burnout - marriage, family or parenting difficulties

- alcohol or drug abuse - emotional or mental health issues

- work-related problems - financial and/or legal difficulties

- grief and loss - adjusting to injury, illness, retirement, etc.

You may contact the agency without informing your supervisor or the university, but do identify yourself as an employee when making your appointment. Questions about EAP may be directed to Peggy Fecker at #8365.
