What the EAP Covers

The EAP connects you with licensed professionals and practical resources across a wide range of personal and work-life challenges, including:

Counseling

• Confidential counseling for personal, family, marital or work-related concerns — including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship conflict, job pressures, chronic illness and substance use

Legal, Financial and Work-Life Support

• Legal advice on family law, divorce, adoption, wills and estate planning, real estate, bankruptcy, contracts and more
• Financial guidance from a Certified Public Accountant or Certified Financial Planner on topics like debt, retirement planning, taxes, credit and loans
• Work-life support for child care, elder care, pet care, college planning, moving, home repair, government assistance and more

Well-Being Coaching

• Work one-on-one with a certified coach by phone or secure video. Coaches can help with stress, burnout, sleep, nutrition, weight management, chronic disease prevention and more.
• Log on to GuidanceResources and select Well-Being Coaching under the Health & Well-Being tile.

Huddles

Join live, online groups built around education, skill building and peer connection. Choose from:

• Alliances, safe spaces to connect with others who share your background or experience, such as parents or LGBTQIA+
• Webinars, listen-and-learn sessions on topics like finances, relationships and coping with stress
• Practices, shorter guided exercises such as mindfulness or relaxation

New sessions are added every month. To see what's coming up and register, log on to GuidanceResources (Web ID: MNPS), scroll down and select Browse All Services, then choose Online Huddles.

GuidanceResources Online

EAP Cost

EAP services are free to you and your household family members. Your EAP provider will determine how many visits you need based on your individual situation. If you need more support than the EAP provides, you'll be connected to additional behavioral health resources through your health plan — so you won't be left without options.
