Free, brief, confidential counseling is available to employees, spouses or domestic partners, and dependent children (ages 6 - 26) by a staff of licensed mental health professionals.
The EAP counselors offer counseling and resources about many personal and family problems, including the following:
- Marital conflict and parenting
- Experiences with depression and anxiety
- Stress (life and workplace)
- Substance abuse
- Grief and loss
- Wellness strategies
- Legal consultation
- Financial consultation
- Elderly care
You or your family member will meet with a licensed, experienced counselor. Your situation will be assessed and together you will develop a plan for improvement. If the assessment indicates brief therapy, EAP counseling will continue until the problem is resolved or improved.
If your problem is not EAP appropriate because it requires a specialist or long-term counseling, you will be referred to a provider through your medical insurance or a community resource.
There is no cost to you or your family when you use the EAP. You can use this benefit even if you are not insured through your company. Your employer provides this service to you and your family as an employee benefit.

Setting Healthy Boundaries
Monthly tip for December
Establishing healthy boundaries is essential for protecting your well-being and creating healthy relationships. Boundaries help define where you end and others begin, ensuring that your needs are met without compromising your mental and emotional health.
Boundaries teach people how to love us and respect our space. They allow us to stay in our integrity and maintain healthy relationships.
Practicing Boundaries Takes Time:
Setting boundaries can feel uncomfortable at first, but with practice, it becomes easier. Stay patient with yourself as you learn to stand firm in your needs. Join us for an upcoming webinar to learn how and when to say “no.” Knowing how to set boundaries is one of the most essential yet overlooked social skills.

Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
Intermountain Health's Employee Assistance Program follows federal (HIPAA) and state laws that require strict confidentiality of all client records. Records are released only when there is a written client request, by court order or by a licensing agency (i.e. DOPL). The law mandates that in cases of child abuse, elder abuse, or when a person may be a threat to his, hers, or someone else's safety, the counselor must notify the proper authorities.
All records are maintained in a secure, electronic case documentation system, separate from all other Intermountain records. The computer database of client information is accessible only to employees of Intermountain Employee Assistance Program. Utilization reports are provided to employers that contain aggregate data for the company. No report contains information that could identify an individual client.
