What qualifications
do the counselors have?
The counselors at UNL’s EAP are experienced
clinicians who hold advanced degrees and are fully licensed
by the State of Nebraska.
Will
this service cost me anything?
The majority of staff and family members
resolve their issues at EAP with short term counseling or
consultation at no charge. Sometimes however, referrals
are made to community resources for specialized or long
term care. These resources may charge for services. The
EAP staff will work with the clients to find resources who
are covered by our health insurance plan or who offer affordable
fees.
Why
would UNL offer counseling for free?
The University recognizes that personal
problems at home or interpersonal issues at work can negatively
affect job performance. The mission of the UNL EAP is to
help staff and faculty deal with these types of problems
in the most positive way possible. The entire University
benefits from employees that are feeling good and productive.
