The EAP also provides wellness workshops on a variety of topics. All full time, part time, and temporary employees are eligible to obtain the services of the EAP at any time. Members of employees' immediate families, living in their households, are also eligible. EAP records are separate and not a part of an employee's personnel file. An employee's use of EAP services or any other information is not released to the employer or a supervisor concerning the nature of the problem.
Confidentiality is regulated by federal guidelines.
The EAP is located in the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, Department of Neuropsychiatry, 1C102 HSC building. When a formal referral is made, the employee will be asked to sign a Release of Information form that will allow the EAP therapist to provide four pieces of information to the supervisor. All other information will be kept confidential. The EAP offers up to five counseling sessions per household per year at no cost to the employee. Any counseling or treatment beyond these five sessions will be referred to another provider and the charges assessed by that provider are the responsibility of the individual.
