ÃÈÃÃÉçÇø

You are the ÃÈÃÃÉçÇø¡¯s most important resource and your personal and professional well-being is critical to achieving our shared mission. 

The Employee Assistance Program (EAP), provided by Optum¡¯s Live and Work Well program, offers emotional wellbeing solutions for employees (faculty and staff) and their household members, such as tools, resources and counseling services to support emotional wellness. 

EAP coverage for you and your family members will end if you terminate employment or if you or your dependents are no longer eligible under the EAP. You may be able to continue the EAP coverage through COBRA. View the Summary Plan Description for more information.
