Employee Assistance Program
Due to current COVID-19 situation, the EAP will be temporarily available to all University employees (full and part time).
As COVID-19 (also known as Coronavirus) developments and news evolves, the University’s partners at Blomquist Hale want to assure you that that they are committed to maintaining a safe and healthy environment those in need of EAP services. The EAP team at Blomquist Hale is prepared to act as needed to protect your wellbeing, while continuing to operate with the highest level of service.
Access to Providers
While the EAP offices remain open, some clients may prefer to conduct counseling online. Clients who wish to access their
session virtually (via smart phone, tablet or computer) can do so via Blomquist Hale’s HIPAA compliant platform.
Enhanced Protocols
Blomquist Hale staff will have continuous hand washing and increased sanitizing of frequently touched surfaces. This includes
handles, chairs, desks and offices.

Upcoming virtual workshops can be found on the Blomquist Hale website at https://blomquisthale.com/Work-Shops.html.

Employees enrolled in the Employee Health Care Plan and their family members may obtain services through the Employee Assistance Program at no cost to the employee.
