When you make the call you will be put up in touch with a counselor who will set up an appointment for you at an office that is convenient to you. We have counselors located in most major cities. If you live in a smaller town where we do not have a counselor, we will locate one for you as close as possible within five working days.

The people who will assist you are not employees of your organization. They are trained psychologist, family and marriage counselors, social workers and therapists specializing in people problems.

Talking to a third party can help. Counselors understand the emotional development and problems of individuals and families. They use this knowledge to help you understand your individual situations, to determine what you would like to change about your life, and to assist you in making these changes.

For emotional, behavioral, and/or mental health problems, the EAP will provide a free assessment(s) to clearly identify the problem(s) and resources available. Based on this assessment, you will be provided with alternatives for resolving the identified problem(s). Generally, problems will require either short-term or long term assistance. Short-term assistance may be provided within the EAP without using your medical benefits or resources. Problems requiring long-term assistance will be managed by using your medical benefits and/or other resources. In either case, a clinically trained case manager will monitor the treatment to ensure adequate and quality care is provided in the most cost effective manner.
