Stress Management & Employee Assistance ProgrammeThe University, in association with CIGNA Healthcare, provides all staff with access to the Ceridian Lifeworks Employee Assistance Programme (EAP). LifeworksLifeworks is a free, confidential telephone and web-based information and support service providing you with access to caring professional consultants and counsellors and provides information and support to help you manage stress, balance your budget, health issues, support a loved one through depression or work through times of personal or workplace change. Where counselling is appropriate this is usually over the phone, however when required it can be arranged face to face via Occupational Health. This takes place off campus at a location suitable to you and is confidential. The service is normally used for work issues, but can be used for domestic issues which may be impacting upon work.
