Higher Ed EAP: Depressed? Anxious? Stressed? Help is at hand.

It’s been a tough two years with the pandemic. And just when we should be starting to resume normal life, we face rising prices, inflation, and a war in Ukraine. It’s a lot to cope with.

If you or someone in your family experiences stress, anxiety, or depression, you have access to great mental health benefits. Just as you care for your physical health, it’s equally important to care for your mental health, but psychological pain often goes unrecognized or takes a back seat to physical illness. May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a good time to educate yourself about signs that you or a loved one may benefit from help.

Your EAP offers 24/7/365 counseling for mental health issues. Or you can explore your EAP Self-Help Center to tap into thousands of tools, articles, videos and more on stress, depression, and other mental health issues.
