The MGB Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is available to faculty, postdocs and graduate students as well, not only weekly employees.

It is 100% confidential and will not show up in any medical records. As we move through life’s seasons, we all are confronted with changes and challenges. Once in a while, we need help in facing these times. The EAP has helped thousands of employees put their problems in perspective and get the help they needed. Their mission is to promote a healthy work environment and to enhance and maintain the well-being of all employees. EAP provides free, confidential consultation, short-term counseling, resources, webinars and referrals for any work/life, family or personal concerns. A list of topics that EAP can help with are as follows:

• Well-Being: Wellness, Healthy Lifestyle, Balance, Mind-Body, Burnout, Grief
• Mental Health & Addiction: Mental Health, Addiction, Help for Self & Others
• Financial, Legal, Housing: Financial, Legal & Immigration, Housing

The CFD is expanding its peer mentoring program to include peer mentoring for parents. Peer mentoring opportunities increase personal well-being and professional productivity by empowering learning and problem-solving in a space of trust and both practical and emotional support. Meetings will be organized and facilitated by the CFD in conjunction with the Department of Medicine (DOM) Parental Wellness Program for these parental groups:

• Expecting parents and parents of infants through the infant’s first year
• Parents of toddlers and preschoolers
