Take advantage of free, union-negotiated Ohio Employee Assistance benefits

The Ohio Employee Assistance Program is a screening, information, referral and support service for state employees and their family members. The Ohio EAP is supported by both labor and management.

It has been a benefit provided to all state employees and their families since 1984. The program is described in the union-negotiated OCSEA and State of Ohio contract (see page 31 of contract PDF) in Article 9. In fact, OCSEA stewards receive training every two years to familiarize themselves with the operation of the Ohio EAP and community referral procedures.

HOME  The Ohio EAP is designed to help you cope with personal problems such as family and parenting issues, alcohol and other drug abuse, emotional concerns such as anxiety, anger, grief or depression, and legal and financial difficulties.

WORK  Personal problems can affect your health and well-being as well as your job performance. These problems can be resolved. Unresolved problems may result in family disruption, job loss, health problems or even death.

For direct assistance involving a personal, confidential problem, please telephone the office and ask for an EAP Intake Coordinator at 614-644-8545 or 1-800-221-6327.

OFFICE HOURS Staff is ready to take your calls during regular office hours which are 7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. There are no EAP services available on holidays or weekends.

EMERGENCIES  In an emergency, please contact your local mental health agency or United Behavioral Health (UBH) at 1-800-852-1091.
