UW has partnered with the Washington State Employee Assistance Program (WA EAP) to bring to campus an exceptional new well-being program designed exclusively for Washington state employees.

UW provides PEBB-eligible employees with an array of work/life resources that go beyond the ordinary. From legal assistance to financial counseling and employee support programs, WA EAP offers comprehensive solutions to meet our employees’ diverse needs.

These services are staffed by local professionals in Washington, ensuring personalized support that aligns with our commitment to your well-being.

Managers and HR professionals will have access through the WA EAP to management and supervisor support programs, critical incident stress management support, trainings and webinars. 

Leaders play an important role in supporting their employees. EAP provides specific services to supervisors, managers and HR leaders to help them in their efforts to provide that support. EAP also provides tools leaders can use to be more effective in their roles. Services to leaders include organizational consultations, referrals to the EAP, critical incident response and tools to promote personal and professional development.

Services available to all covered employees and/or family members include counseling, work/life, 24/7 support and awareness, education and resources.

This virtual program orientation will provide an overview to managers and HR professionals about the exciting new benefits available through the WA EAP, including:

• How to make a referral
