Please don't let questions you have about the EAP prevent you from using it. You can call SSM Health at Work EAP, and speak with a staff professional to get your questions answered before you decide where or not to pursue further assistance through the EAP.
By providing the EAP, your employer wants to encourage you to deal with concerns sooner rather than later, so they do not become disruptive to your quality of life, your health, family, or productivity. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain by calling EAP.
How EAP Works
- Simply call the SSM Health at Work EAP to start the process. Phones are answered 24 hours a day for emergency intervention in case of personal crisis.
- EAP has daytime and evening hours for you to meet or speak with an EAP counselor.
- The counselor will initially discuss with you the nature and severity of the concern.
- If you agree that longer term or specialized assistance is needed, beyond the contracted EAP sessions, the EAP counselor will discuss referral sources with you and allow you to decide among the most appropriate options.

- Employees and family members who seek our EAP services are ensured complete confidentiality to the extent allowed by the state and federal law.
