Balancing the daily demands of work and home can be challenging. The EAP program offers employees confidential, no-cost assistance with a variety of personal or workplace concerns, ranging from stress and depression, to coping with grief and loss. So you don’t need to go it alone. This benefit is confidential, and you have no copay for visits with a mental health professional in your community.

Through the UBH EAP benefit, you also have access to unlimited telephonic counseling for legal issues. When you call UBH for a legal issue you will be connected to LawPhone, where you will either be placed immediately in contact with an attorney specializing in your area of concern, or a callback appointment will be made at your convenience. You may call the UBH LawPhone service as often as you wish.

Unlimited telephonic counseling for financial issues is also available through the EAP benefit. Credit card and other debt issues will be referred to Consumer Credit Counseling Service. All non-debt related calls are connected to a financial counseling service offered through Ernst & Young. While Ernst & Young sells various financial planning services and products, they will not promote these services, but will offer UBH participants strategic and general advice.

In addition, you have access to UBH’s online service, liveandworkwell.com. This is a completely confidential and private website that allows you to research health questions, set personal goals, and participate in on-line discussions. Services include:

• Self-assessment programs that guide you in identifying problem areas and provide problem resolution recommendations,
• Personal Plan programs, designed to teach you about a topic or problem area and provide tools for improving the situation, and
• An online magazine with informative and accessible articles on such topics as self-improvement and solving personal problems.
