Do you need support with obstacles in your life?
Did you know the University has a free and confidential support service called the Employee Assistance Programme?
The Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) has been provided to offer all staff members unlimited access to advice and information on a wide variety of life topics, as well as coaching and counselling services too.
Examples of life events you can speak to EAP about include:
- Work – starting a new role, setting objectives, reaching your potential and experiencing change
- Emotional support – dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, self-esteem, sexual identity or neglect
- Housing – mortgage advice, neighbour disputes, renting or tenancy worries, and information on buying and selling
- Relationships – moving in with a partner, getting married or trying to start a family together, as well as joint finances
- Money – help with debt management, budget or creditors
- Health and Wellbeing – fitness, nutrition, alcohol or smoking advice
- Crisis – this could include divorce, bereavement, abuse, a miscarriage, or bullying and harassment.
A range of articles, videos and podcasts on the various life events are available to view on the EAP website.
You can access the EAP website by using the ‘Quick Link’ on the top right-hand side of the internal homepage. The organisation code to enter the website is ‘lborowell’.
The EAP telephone service is also available 24 hours a day by calling 0800 111 6387.
