Employee Assistance Program

Employee Assistance Program provides confidential support, counseling, and wellness resources for employees and their household members.

CSUMB recognizes that life at work and at home can be full of difficult challenges. It's important to know that you are not alone.

As a CSUMB employee, you and any member of your household can turn to the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for help.

  • Alcohol or drug dependencies
  • Family and relationship concerns
  • Workplace conflicts

  • Child and elder care resources
  • Pre and postnatal concerns

All services are kept strictly confidential. Face-to-face counseling with qualified local counselors is also available and provided at no charge. Brochures are available through Human Resources.
