About Employee Assistance Program
How EAP Works
UF employees can arrange an appointment simply by calling 392-5787 or email eaphelp@cns.ufl.edu. An EAP consultant works to help clarify problems and concerns and develop ways to address such issues. Supervisors are also encouraged to discuss problem situations that are negatively affecting the job performance of an employee in order to facilitate a referral to the EAP. Employees are eligible for an average of three visits per fiscal year.
Who Can Use EAP
These services are available to all university employees including:
- faculty members
- TEAMS personnel
- USPS personnel
- OPS employees
Confidentiality
Use of the EAP by individuals is confidential. Information shared with an EAP consultant will not be disclosed to anyone without the employee's written permission unless there is direct threat of physical harm to the employee or someone else.
Under no circumstances will EAP records become part of an employee's personnel file.
Costs
There is no charge for services provided directly by the Employee Assistance Program.
If an external referral is made, the EAP consultant will assist the employee in making the best use of his/her health insurance or in finding affordable services.
