Student Well-Being Task Force

Last fall, SLU established a student well-being task force comprised of stakeholders from across the University and from a variety of backgrounds and areas of expertise.

ComPsych Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

In-person, confidential counseling through the EAP is available to all SLU employees, their family members, and members of their household. Schedule up to eight sessions at no cost to you. Each one-hour session can be scheduled face-to-face or via telehealth (phone or video). If you want to speak to a counselor more quickly, ComPsych has full-time counselors on staff. When you call, let the clinician know you would like to speak to one of their full-time counselors over the phone. They will assist in scheduling an appointment and a ComPsych counselor will call you within 24 hours.

Contact: Call 800-859-9319 to access these services. You’ll be connected to a master’s level EAP clinician who will help refer you to counselors who meet your needs and preferences.
The clinician will email you a list of counselors for your consideration.
