| Feeling Stressed About the Holidays? |
|
| The University partners with Carilion to provide employees an Employee Assistance Program (EAP). The EAP is a voluntary, confidential professional counseling and referral service designed to help individuals with personal or job-related concerns. Counselors can help employees and their immediate family members identify, resolve and gain control over issues that may be affecting their work and daily life. Assistance is available by calling 1-800-992-1913. The first four visits per life situation are free. Supervisors have the added benefit of being able to make referrals when employees are experiencing personal difficulty. Please get in touch with HR for guidance in these situations. |
