Employee Assistance Program (EAP) @ Harvard

Harvard's Employee Assistance Program (EAP) offers a helping hand. The program provides free and confidential help with personal, family, and work-related problems to those who work and teach at the university. Faculty and staff and their household members can receive consultation and referral for concerns such as:

  • Mental-health problems, including anxiety, depression, and substance abuse
  • Work stress and crises such as conflict, diversity issues, and the illness or death of a coworker
  • Legal and financial questions about such things as wills, divorce, and debt
  • Family issues involving relationships, parenting, alternative families, and grief
  • Elder-care, adoption, and child-care questions and referral requests
  • Management consultations about staff dynamics, performance problems, and special needs

Services are available 24 hours a day. Counselors take calls from 8:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday, and from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Friday. Crisis support is available at the same number, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Counseling is now provided in over a dozen different languages. Bilingual and bicultural counselors are available by phone and in person. The hearing-impaired can meet with counselors fluent in American Sign Language.

Help is available anywhere. The EAP can tap into a broad network of counselors and other providers for face-to-face and telephone consultation in Harvard Square, other local communities, and other parts of the country.

Current Harvard employees can access Harvard's EAP, on HARVie, Harvard's intranet for employees. Current graduate students can learn more about life balance services available to them by accessing the GSAP.
