Your Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is our way of saying you’re a valuable employee and your personal and professional happiness is important to us. We know that sometimes problems arise that you may find difficult to solve alone. Our EAP is designed to assist you, and those close to you, resolve problems affecting your physical and emotional well-being and job performance. It is a completely confidential employee benefit. At sometime or another, we all experience a personal or family-related problem. How we deal with these problems is what makes us successful human beings. Taking advantage of our EAP’s assessment and referral services can make a difference. As a new hire, you are encouraged to complete the 30-minute EAP New Hire Orientation within 90 days of your hire date. The training can be found on the County’s training platform, Eureka, and you will be allowed to complete this training on County time.
To learn more about EAP, go to the Aetna Resources for Living website at www.resourcesforliving.com.

You, everyone in your household and adult children living away from home up to age 26, can access up to six sessions (previously three sessions) per issue, each year. Work with a counselor in person, over the phone, or through tele-video.
Counseling sessions are available either in-person or virtually and provide support for all situations, including:
- Moving and life changes
- Anxiety, stress, and depression
- Relationship advice
- Work/life balance concerns
- Caregiver stress
If additional emotional support is needed after the 6 no-cost counseling sessions, check with your health plan for behavioral health coverage details.
Emotional Wellness
Relationship Support
Relationships come in all shapes and sizes; you may be in one with a spouse, children, friends, neighbors and co-workers. Life, and relationships are full of big changes—some filled with joy and others with sadness and struggle. Resources for Living has resources and tools to help you through them...
Grief and Loss
Loss is always hard. You may have regrets. And maybe you didn’t get to say goodbye. It’s important to take care of yourself during this time. It can help to learn more about the grief process and how to cope.
Domestic Abuse & Violence
If you or someone you care about is being undermined, degraded, controlled, or in any way emotionally or physically abused or assaulted, it’s never okay. Get support. For an emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
Substance Use Services
Know that substance use affects people from all walks of life. And like many chronic illnesses, addiction to opioids and other substances is treatable through a combination of medication, therapy and ongoing support. It takes strength and support to stop and live in recovery.
Adapting & Embracing Change
No matter how good, change sometimes instills anxiety, discomfort and fear of the unknown. Learn how to adapt more readily to the decisions you make – and what life throws at you.
Time Management
Yep, 24 hours goes fast. Learn how to better manage your time so you can get the most out of it – even a little “you” time. Slow down in this sped-up world.
