UW CareLink - Enhanced Employee Assistance Services
The University is pleased to announce implementation of enhanced employee assistance services for faculty and staff. The new program, UW CareLink, began July 1 with the move to a new service provider, APS Healthcare. Recommendations for the enhanced program came from an interdepartmental task team that included HR staff and faculty from Medicine, Nursing, Psychology, Public Health and Social Work.
UW CareLink services, provided confidentially and at no cost to employees, address personal and workplace issues that can affect job performance. These may include mental health, stress, substance abuse, marital and family, financial and legal concerns. Through UW CareLink, employees and their family/household members will have access to the services of licensed professionals for confidential assessment, short-term problem solving, and referral for extended counseling.
To access UW CareLink, call toll free: 1-866-598-3978. Service is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Callers can receive program information, problem assessment and referral and, if needed, immediate access to licensed professionals for emergent situations.
Over the next three months, the UW will work with APS Healthcare to fully implement UW CareLink. Beginning Fall Quarter, the program will offer supervisory training, and training to help employees build skills needed to manage personal and work-related issues. Communications will be emphasized through training and orientation materials, and program information and resources in print and on the Web. UW CareLink also will work with the former provider, the Employee Advisory Service (EAS), to ensure a smooth transition for UW clients currently being served by EAS.
A flyer describing current UW CareLink services is available from Human Resources at 543-1557 or via email at hradmin@u.washington.edu. Information also is available online at http://www.washington.edu/admin/hr/eap.html As implementation progresses, additional information will be communicated via email, campus publications and the Web.
