Helping You To Be Your Best

Auburn University's Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is administered through Uprise Health (formerly American Behavioral). An EAP is a confidential assessment, counseling and referral service for all full-time, benefit-eligible employees and their eligible dependents who need help with issues in life to include:

  • Marital and family issues

  • Alcohol and other drug dependency

  • Stress-related issues

  • Financial/legal referrals

  • Emotional problems

An EAP counselor can help identify problems and assist employees and dependents in working through them. The counselor can also determine the best alternatives and, if necessary, make appropriate referrals to other professionals who specialize in particular areas. The program is:

  • Confidential: All information is kept strictly between the individual and the counselor.

  • Informal: A simple phone call starts the process.

  • Free: All counseling offered within the EAP is provided as a benefit by Auburn University.

Additional information on Auburn's EAP is listed below.
