Employee
Assistance Program (EAP)
Effective July 1, 2000, Mount Holyoke
College provides an Employees Assistance Program (EAP) to its benefits
eligible employees, their spouse and dependent children.
How The Mount Holyoke College EAP Works
Your EAP services are provided by The Wellness Corporation, founded
in 1984 and dedicated to helping people with emotional, family,
substance abuse and other personal problems.
When you call the EAP, their staff will help you set up an appointment
with one of their professional EAP counselors. You and the counselor
will decide together the best approach to take to resolve your particular
problem. Many problems are resolved or improved through short-term
counseling, without any further need for services.
In some instances, you and the EAP counselor may decide that other
kinds of expertise would be helpful. Your EAP counselor can make
recommendations, and help refer you to the most appropriate resources.
Confidentiality
Your EAP is confidential and does not share any information about
your involvement or use of their services without your prior knowledge
and written permission, except as may be required by law.
Cost
Your EAP costs you nothing as Mount Holyoke College is concerned
about your well-being and so provides this program at no cost to
you.
However, you may be responsible for any costs outside the EAP
sessions, such as for services by referred providers. Your EAP
counselor will
talk about these costs with you before outside services are used.
Your health insurance plan usually covers some or all of these
expenses but it is wise to inquire at the onset.
