Employee Assistance Program

At Mayo Clinic, we're on a mission to transform healthcare for our patients. Mayo wants you to feel supported and valued every step of the way. Staff have shared how important it is for them to be able to access affordable, convenient mental health support. Rest assured that whichever service you utilize is private and confidential. Explore the resources below to learn more about your EAP options.

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

Beginning on November 1, 2024, you will have access to Headspace EAP services in addition to the EAP services that are currently available to you today. Please return to this page on November 1 to start the Headspace registration process. To utilize current EAP services, please visit the Employee Benefits page.
