What is an Employee Assistance Program?

When you need extra support for any personal or work-related issues, Mayo Clinic’s Employee Assistance Program (EAP) can help. The EAP is a voluntary and confidential service available at no cost to all staff and their families. Mayo Clinic is increasing its options for staff mental health support by expanding the internal EAP counselor team, and by partnering with Headspace, an external EAP service. You and your family members have access to choose an option that best suits your needs.

Areas the EAP can support you include:

  • Family relationships
  • Financial or legal issues
  • Alcohol or drug dependency
  • Workplace and vocational issues
  • Mental and emotional health
  • Elder care issues
  • Traumatic work incidents
