WVU Medicine Employees:
Resources for Living Program (EAP)
WVU Medicine is proud to offer Live-Balanced, a confidential and comprehensive Employee Assistance Program (EAP) to all benefit employees, members of their household, and their adult children up to the age of 26.
Live-Balanced is a free, fully employer-paid benefit for all benefit eligible employees. It is not tied to participation in any other insurance plan.
Five (5) free counseling sessions are offered through the EAP. Services are confidential and available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for counseling, consultation, appointment scheduling, and referrals at 1-800-865-3200.
As part of the EAP, we are excited to announce a new online therapy platform – Talkspace – for employees and their dependents to connect with a licensed behavioral therapist at any time for a variety of issues.
