Employee Assistance Office

Mental health is a critical component of our overall well-being. Personal stressors, work-related changes and interpersonal conflict can impact our mental well-being at any stage of life. In fact, more than one in five adults in the U.S. lives with a mental health condition.

If you are struggling, you are not alone. The Employee Assistance Office has licensed mental health counselors on staff to help navigate these challenges and ensure you get the support you need. Employees and managers can contact the EAO for assistance on various behavioral health topics that may impact individuals or teams.

All services EAO provides are confidential and voluntary. There are no out-of-pocket fees for benefits-eligible ASU faculty, staff, spouses and their dependents.

• Assessment and evaluation of mental health conditions.
