What is the cost of using the EAP?
There is NO COST to you. It is a benefit provided by the Diocese of Gary Benefit Program. However, if you are referred to a resource outside of the EAP, you may be responsible for that cost. Your EAP counselor will assist you in finding the most cost effective and efficient help.
Will the Benefits Office, my school or church, institution, or agency know if I (or any of my family) use the program?
No. Perspectives EAP is CONFIDENTIAL. No one will know that you are using the program unless you sign a written “Release of Information” giving your counselor permission to speak to someone about you. The Benefits Office only receives statistical information about utilization of the program. A name or any fact that might identify an individual is never given in a report.
