Life is full of challenges. Most of the time we can overcome them ourselves. Every now and then, we find ourselves needing some help. There is no need to go it alone. As a member of Higher Ed EAP, help is as close as the nearest telephone.

Explore the Higher Ed EAP Brochure for detailed information on how Higher Ed EAP can help you and your family.
