The State
Employees Assistance Program (SEAP) provides employees and
their family members confidential, no cost assistance with
a broad range of personal and work-related problems such
as: stress, single parenting, depression, death and dying,
job burnout, physical abuse, marital or relationship
problems, aging parents, retirement concerns, dual
careers, anxiety, alcohol or drug problems,
gambling, or eating disorders. Employees can also get help
finding childcare; caring for elderly parents or a
disabled dependent; or resolving financial, legal or other
concerns.
Simply call
SEAP (1-800-692-7459) when you feel a problem is getting
too difficult to handle alone. You will be immediately
connected to a supportive SEAP intake counselor - a
skilled professional with a clinical master's degree and
at least four years of clinical experience. The intake
counselor will help evaluate your concerns and issues, and
determine the best referral for you to receive assistance.
SEAP is
available 24 hours-a-day, seven days-a-week. SEAP services
are completely confidential. All records, including
medical information, referrals and evaluations, are kept
confidential in accordance with federal and state laws.
The SEAP
statewide network includes psychiatrists, psychologists,
social workers, and marriage, family and child counselors.
All are licensed graduates of accredited programs and have
at least five years of post-licensure clinical experience.
Many SEAP counselors specialize in alcohol and substance
abuse problems.
There is no
charge for seeing a SEAP provider. However, you must call
SEAP to have all visits pre-approved by a SEAP intake
counselor.
