FEDERAL OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH

Although nearly 52 million adults are affected by mental illness in this country each year, generally, mental health issues aren't always observable. As a result, those affected often suffer in silence and are frequently misunderstood or judged by others. In addition, many don't seek treatment, or only do so once something goes wrong. Since our mental health and well being are closely tied, both should be regularly attended to as an ongoing, daily practice. So, whether you're here for support and resources to tackle an existing condition or because you want to take a more active role in your mental health, you've come to the right place.

if you're currently in crisis or have recently experienced or been exposed to a traumatic event, call or text 988 to be immediately connected to a trained crisis counselor. The 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline is available 24/7 and provides free, confidential support for anyone experiencing a mental health-related emergency, such as thoughts of suicide, a mental health or substance use crisis, or any other kind of emotional distress.

If this is not an emergency and you have questions or would like to speak with an EAP counselor, call 1-800-222-0364(TTY: 1-800-262-7848) or click the Enter Site button above and look for the Live chat feature on the right side of the page.

With suicide receiving more visibility in the media, we'd like to share some information published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on the prevalence of suicide in our nation, recommendations for prevention, and national resources that are available in addition to your EAP.
