Employee Assistance Program
Counselors and psychologists are available through the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) to faculty and staff facing job cuts or reductions and those dealing with other changes in the workplace. EAP has increased its counseling staffing levels, including a full-time psychologist. These services are free and confidential and can help employees identify, manage and resolve personal and work-related issues.
EAP services are by appointment only, except in crisis situations. EAP is not intended to be a long-term counseling service. Rather, it provides initial assessment, consultation and referral. EAP services typically will not be more than five sessions per individual contact.
For additional information, see the EAP website. For appointments in the Pullman area, call 335-1744 or email eap@wsu.edu. Statewide EAP services and resource information for areas outside Pullman is available on the EAP website.
