You are currently viewing World Mental Health Day: Connect With Your EAP Benefits

Connect with your Employee Assistance Plan (EAP) benefits for personalized support—because everyone’s mental health matters.

An estimated 26% of Americans ages 18 and older—about one in four adults—suffers from a diagnosable mental disorder in any given year. Consider the amount of people in your department; how many of them might be struggling right now? Additionally, think about how many people may have lost a family member or friend to a mental illness or a substance abuse disorder.

You have support through your EAP benefits, which are provided at no extra cost. Eight free counseling sessions per person, per year, are available to you and the members of your household.

Contact a counselor through OPTUM today. Call 866-743-6551 or visit www.liveandworkwell.com (access code 11060) to browse counselors and learn more about stress management, substance abuse disorder and other mental health topics.
