What is the Employee Assistance Program?
EAP counseling is a no-cost benefit where you may access a counselor for any problem that is affecting your personal and/or professional life.
Employees and family members: You may see a counselor for up to ten (10) sessions per problem.
Public Safety employees: You may see a counselor for up to twelve (12) sessions for a traumatic event.
How soon will you see someone?
You will see a counselor within a few days of calling - usually within 5 business days. If your situation is an emergency you may access a counselor immediately by phone and within 24 hours in person. You may request that the EAP representative help schedule your appointment for you.
Is your visit confidential?
No one at your job will know that you have seen a counselor, unless you tell them or ask a counselor to call your employer. Under these circumstances you must sign a release asking the counselor to communicate with your supervisor.
Are counselors professional?
All counselors have master or doctorate degrees and are certified or licensed to provide services. All provide comprehensive assessment, short-term counseling and referrals. 90% of the time, your counselor will be able to help you resolved your issue without referring you to your insurance provider. Occasionally your issue may need to be addressed by a physician, psychologist or specialist outside your EAP coverage.
Who is eligible?
EAP is available to all active Pima County employees. This program also covers your spouse, significant other (living in the home) and children living in the home. If you are not sure, call Human Resources or Aetna.
