Employee Assistance Program

The Employee Assistance Program (EAP) was established to provide employees and their families with opportunities to obtain assistance for a variety of personal problems which may affect their continued functioning as productive members of the University community or society at large.

Effective November 1, 2023, LSU has partnered with Aetna to provide all benefits-eligible employees and members of their household with access to the Aetna Resources for Living Employee Assistance Program (EAP). This is an LSU-sponsored benefit available at no cost and enrollment is not necessary. Services are confidential and available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The EAP will provide to you and your family members many resources, including:

Counseling sessions are available face-to-face or online with televideo and can help with a range of issues including relationship support, stress management, work/life balance, family issues, dealing with grief and loss, depression, anxiety, substance abuse and more.
  • Daily life assistance program gives you personalized guidance to find resources to support childcare, parenting and adoption, school and financial aid research, caregiver support, and even resources to assist with your home repair.
