Who to contact if you have question or your clients need to schedule a referral
EAP services include assessment, counseling, consultation, and referral to employees with personal and/or work-related concerns, such as stress, financial issues, legal issues, family problems, office conflicts, and alcohol and substance use disorders.

We help your employees grow in personal areas by offering resources, referrals, and counseling.
Some of the areas that we help with are personal stress, anxiety, drug and alcohol abuse, depression, anger management, conflict resolution, and more.

Each of your employees is entitled to one initial thirty-minute office or telephone consultation per separate legal matter at no cost with a network attorney. In the event that you wish to retain a participating attorney after the initial consultation, you will be provided with a preferred rate reduction of 25% from the attorney’s normal hourly rate.

Yes! Posted on the wellbeing website under My Benefits is a 13:45 min. orientation that may be accessed at any time.
You won’t. You will only know if they tell you. All EAP services are confidential. However, an annual utilization report will summarize participation.
That’s possible. Companies that have an EAP, regard it like insurance or AAA. It’s there when you need it. Here’s an example: The school calls one of your teammates to report concern for their teenager who is expressing signs of depression. In that moment, that parent is grateful you purchased and EAP. Another example: A department supervisor dies suddenly. You’re stressed, yet relieved that you have an EAP to help and your team navigate collegial grief.
That’s your choice. When you register, indicate how many people you want to cover and decide how you will communicate your decision.
We offer both face-to-face and telephonic sessions.
We contract with hundreds of counselors, nationwide, representing a variety of specialties and attributes. For example, it’s not unusual for someone to be gender specific when making a counseling request.
If we posted a list and someone didn’t see a counselor in their area, they might think there wasn’t one. We consult our data base first and then make an effort to locate a provider reasonably close to their home or work. Our list is always growing.
Yes, as well as dozens of other training opportunities. Online training is accessible through the wellbeing website and produces a certificate of completion. Check with your lawyer to learn if it satisfies your state’s harassment training requirement.
Yes! We have foreign language interpreters for 240 languages and the wellbeing website has Spanish language content.
Small business that enroll online, pay with a major credit card that renews annually. Others should consult their benefits advisor.
• The contact person at the company will receive a series of onboarding emails (see below), including instructions to access a video orientation for employees.
• A representative of Balance EAP calls the contact person to initiate the relationship and answer questions.
• The company receives brochures and wallet cards to share with employees.
• Each month the company receives a newsletter and service flyer that displays contact information.
• The company or group receives an annual utilization report and a semi-annual snapshot.
IMPORTANT: Utilization improves when employees call the EAP, directly. It often takes courage to make a phone call asking for help. When told to call the agent for the EAP phone number, courage often wanes. 888-775-2236
