Monitor Your Mental Health with Higher Ed EAP

Most Americans have a physical every year or two. Monitoring our physical health on an ongoing basis can prevent small problems from turning into big problems. But what about our mental health? As we rebound from a once-in-a-century pandemic, recent employee surveys show that many people are still experiencing anxiety, depression, and stress.

How’s your mental health? Why not take a quick, free online mental health screening to see how you fare?: https://screening.mhanational.org/screening-tools/. And because May is Mental Health Awareness Month, why not share the link with friends and family? Often, even those closest to us suffer in silence, so this is an easy way to reach out.

If you or your family members are suffering from stress, anxiety, or depression, whatever the cause, why not reach out for help? Fairfield University makes it easy for you and your family to get confidential, cost-free mental health care through your Employee Assistance Program (EAP). Just pick up the phone and call 800-252-4555 or log in at www.theEAP.com/Higher-Education-EAP.

Here are just some of the many services that your EAP provides:
  • Telephonic in-the-moment counseling from clinical professionals for anxiety, depression, mental health issues, and more. Call toll-free day or night – 800-252-4555.
  • One-to-one professional coaching for stress management, resilience, and wellness issues. Call 800-252-4555 to talk about coaching options.
  • Online mental-health self-help resources, including assessments, articles, videos, and more. Log in at www.theEAP.com/Higher-Education-EAP. 
  • Online webinars and training for stress management, resiliency, and other mental health issues.
If you or a loved one are in crisis or need immediate help, call, text, or chat 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. This 3-digit number offers a quick way to access free, confidential support for those who are in a suicidal crisis or mental health-related distress 24/7 across the U.S.
