The Employee Assistance Program (EAP) provides confidential professional consultation and referral services to address any personal or work concern that may be affecting your wellbeing.
You can receive up to eight counseling sessions per issue at no cost. If support is needed on more than one issue during a calendar year, contact Lyra's Care Navigator Team at [email protected] or (877) 295-8939 and notify them of your request for additional care.
Employees and their dependents enrolled in the University medical plan also have access to continued mental health care from a Lyra network provider, beyond the eight counseling sessions per issue. These sessions are billed through the medical plan and subject to in-network outpatient mental health cost-sharing, as defined under the medical plan.
Eligibility
EAP is available to all benefits-eligible employees on all system campuses. Your spouse and dependent children are also eligible for EAP services.
