EAP for Higher Education
Because Education EAPs Require More Thought
Few Human Resource environments are as complex as Higher Education. You support a highly diverse population of professors, administrative leaders, exempt staff, union workers and others, often in hierarchies or silos. You manage the impact of changes like Title IX and transgender acceptance. And you deal with tech-savvy students who continually expect and demand more.
- Establish relationships with faculty, staff and leadership
- Consult on leadership’s response to crises and threats of violence
- Integrate with campus security, risk assessment and crisis response groups
- Deliver sensitivity awareness and other training to administrative, departmental and campus leaders
- Collaborate with Employee Relations to assess stress, addiction and other personal challenges
- Support health center staff, chaplaincy and 24-hour residential life staff who serve as in “loco parentis”
- Help staff with the impact of student accidents, assaults, and suicides
- Meet with student affairs officers and employee affinity groups to ensure inclusiveness
Your Employee Assistance Program should reflect this world, not the corporate world. That’s why more colleges and universities are finding their EAP at KGA.
We also provide tools directly related to HR functions, with robust reporting capabilities to ensure you’re getting the most out of our services.
A Partner Who Understands What You Face – and Helps You Manage It
KGA builds a collaborative relationship with you and your HR team, as well as with Work-Life, Occupational Health and other groups focused on making all the people touched by the school a healthy and engaged community. Your faculty and staff can turn to us for help with a wide range of personal and work-related issues, including stress, work-life balance, depression, substance abuse, performance challenges or everyday needs like day care.
As behavioral and mental health experts, we assess the root causes of an issue to ensure the right solution at the right time. Individuals work with the same experienced counselor from start to resolution, assuring in depth support, confidentiality and diligent follow-up.
