The Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is available to all Illinois State University employees, retirees, their family members, and domestic partners.. The EAP offers information and referral services to persons who are experiencing problems which affect their ability to function normally either at home or work.
Three types of referrals can be made: 1) self referral, 2) supervisory referral, or 3) personal concern referral (made by any concerned person).
The EAP is a voluntary program that is strictly confidential. Participation in the EAP does not jeopardize the employee's job or reputation. Contacts with the EAP will not be made known to anyone without the client's permission.
Any problem that affects a person's ability to function normally can be addressed. These include, but are not limited to, problems concerning alcohol and drugs, anxiety or depression, coping with a death or other loss, finances, relationships, legal matters, illness, stress, insomnia, etc.
Clients may contact the EAP coordinator at the Energy House, e-mail maschm@ilstu.edu or phone 438-8842. The coordinator will meet with clients at a site convenient for the client. The coordinator helps individuals find assistance which best serves their particular need. The coordinator can advise supervisors who have concerns about an employee.
Clients may also call the EAP coordinator (438-8842) for assistance in setting up mental health and substance abuse services or they may contact their insurance carrier directly.
