The Employee Assistance Program is available free of charge to all University of Florida faculty and staff--including OPS. The purpose of the EAP is to promote, maintain, and support a positive and productive workplace. The EAP provides a wide range of services including individual employee evaluation and referral, consultation services for supervisors, workshops and training sessions, and support groups.

Up to three visits for individual consultation are available by calling the EAP at 392-5787 to schedule an appointment. These confidential sessions are provided by licensed mental health professionals employed by the University of Florida. If additional counseling is necessary, EAP professionals will refer employees to community providers and agencies that accept university health insurance or charge fees based on income level.

The EAP is administered by the Student Health Care Center’s Student Mental Health Service and is housed in Room 242 of the Infirmary Building. The EAP entrance is separate from the student entrance thus providing employees a private setting. The contact you have with the EAP will remain confidential.

For more information or to schedule an appointment, please contact the EAP Office at 392-5787.
