About the Employee Assistance Program
Balancing the many priorities of our professional and personal lives can prove to be challenging. Resources for navigating Work/Life problems are important. Impact Solutions, the university’s Employee Assistance Program (EAP) vendor, can help you reduce stress, improve mental health, and make life easier by connecting you to the right information, resources, and referrals.
All services are confidential, and available to all employees—regardless of benefit eligibility—and the employee’s parents and parents-in-laws and family members in their home, as well as dependents living away from home (up to the age of 26). EAP services are free, and include:
- 24/7 live toll-free telephone access to licensed and experienced counselors offering guidance, counseling, problem-solving and referral services by calling 800-227-6007.
- A customized local/national provider network offering face-to-face counseling.
- Six complimentary face-to-face counseling sessions per person, per occurrence.
- A mental health chatbox called Tess that provides emotional support to boost your resiliency.
- A Member Portal and Mobile App that offers thousands of articles, videos, webinars, checklists and more.

Mental Health Chat
Tess is a mental health chatbox that provides emotional support to boost your resiliency. Tess is available 24/7 and coaches you through tough times to build resilience, by having text message conversations - similar to texting with a friend or coach. If at any time during a chat session with Tess you want to speak to, or schedule an appointment with, a counselor, Tess will provide the Impact Solutions phone number or emergency response services, depending on the need.
- Tess is completely confidential. You can stop a conversation whenever you’re ready by simply texting "stop" or asking Tess to delete your conversation at any time.
- Tess is an excellent resource for teens, college students and adults who prefer technology as a communication tool or method for learning.
- Tess is a great way to supplement counseling and gain access to strategies and techniques that can help you manage stress in the moment.
