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.

Mindfulness
Monthly tip for November
Mindfulness is the awareness that arises when we pay attention, on purpose, in the present moment, without judgment. This practice helps us be more present in our lives and work, manage stress, focus better, foster more meaningful relationships, and improve our well- being and productivity.
Here are some tips and techniques for practicing mindfulness:
Mindful Communications Tips
• Stay Calm: Practice mindfulness to keep a calm mind.
• Be Courageous: Face challenges head-on.
• Practice Gratitude: Focus on positives.
Everyday Mindfulness Techniques
• S – Stop: Stop or slow it down.
• T – Take a Breath: Take a break. Ground to the present moment (Breath, feet on floor).
• O - Observe: Observe body sensations, emotions, and thoughts without acting.
• P – Proceed: Proceed with awareness of what is truly needed in the situation (responsive vs reactive)
In addition to these tips and techniques, we invite you to incorporate gratitude into your everyday life. Practicing gratitude can boost feelings of well-being and overall happiness, especially when combined with an overall wellness strategy. Join us for a training on practicing gratitude where you can learn practices that have been shown to increase mental health and emotional well-being.

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.
