Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

To assist WKU benefits-eligible employees and their household

members with behavioral and mental health issues, as well as worklife,

financial, and legal issues, the University offers an Employee

Assistance Program (EAP) at no cost to benefits-eligible employees.

The EAP is provided through ComPsych, a worldwide leader in

employee assistance services. The EAP is a confidential resource to

assist employees in dealing with relationship problems, stress and

depression, parenting, substance abuse, suicide prevention, teen

pregnancy, divorce, personal finance, job performance, house and

legal concerns. EAP services are fully available to each covered WKU

employee as well as immediate family members. Employees are

allowed five free counseling sessions with EAP approved providers.

Contact to the EAP and discussion with EAP counselors are completely

confidential and will not be shared with any University official or other

individual. The University encourages employees to use the EAP as a

helpful resource as needed during times of difficulty. Employees may

contact the EAP at 1-877-327-4753 24 hours a day, 7 days a week or,
