BRIEF

Program Summary

The Employee Assistance Program (EAP) at Berkeley Lab helps employees find solutions to personal and work-related behavioral health problems that impact workplace functioning, such as mental illness, chemical dependency, interpersonal problems, employee deaths, threats of violence, work stress, etc. Berkeley Lab recognizes that these challenges can have a negative impact on job performance that is beyond the ability of supervisors or managers to resolve. An eligible employee who is dealing with any of these problems is encouraged to use the EAP through the University of California (UC) at Berkeley’s CARE Services. CARE Services is located on the UC Berkeley campus at the University Health Services (the Tang Center). Employees and managers who are seeking employee-assistance services may contact the CARE Services directly.

Employees are assured that self-initiated contacts made with the Laboratory's EAP are kept in strict confidence in accordance with prevailing federal requirements and Laboratory policy on confidential personal health records. The EAP will not contact management concerning employees who refer themselves unless the employee so requests.

All services are voluntary, confidential, and free of charge.

Who Should Read This Program

Eligible employees are those holding Career, Term, Limited, Rehired Retiree, or non-University of California Student Assistant appointments. Employees who hold University of California faculty or Graduate Student Research Assistant (GSRA) appointments or are student assistants attending a University of California campus must use their campus EPA or health benefits.
