Examples include mental illness that affects a relative, a close friend experiencing homelessness, a loved one or a friend you fear is at risk for self-harm following a tragic incident, etc. The employee assistance program can be a resource even if the problem isn’t directly your own. UR Medicine EAP is brought to you by Well-U, helping eligible individuals to assess issues, and provide short-term counseling and referrals.
