A brief description of the institution’s wellness and/or employee assistance program(s):
Student Counseling Service:
The Miami University Student Counseling Service provides primary (interventions which educate/protect individuals in order to avoid problems prior to the development of signs or symptoms of problems), secondary (interventions which identify persons in the early stages of problem behaviors and attempt to avert the ensuing negative consequences by inducing them to cease their problem behavior through counseling or treatment), and tertiary (interventions which strive to end problem behavior and/or to ameliorate their negative effects through treatment and rehabilitation) level mental health interventions.
The goal of these interventions is to assist students in developing and maintaining healthy personal, emotional, and psychological functioning as they set and attempt to achieve academic goals. Provision of all levels of interventions is achieved through maintaining a rich and current professional environment consisting of expert staff and a vital and thriving training program for mental health practitioners.
SCS provides clinical and outreach services for currently eligible MU Oxford students. This includes: (1) Any student currently enrolled at MU Oxford Campus and (2) any student currently enrolled at an MU Oxford Campus, university-sponsored residential learning program (e.g., the American Culture and English [ACE] program, etc.) who have paid their respective fees. Our administrative staff and/or our Assistant Director for Clinical Services are available to assist with verifying eligibility for services.
Employee Assistant Program:
An Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is a program that offers free and confidential assessments, short-term counseling, referrals, and follow-up services to employees and their families who have personal and/or work-related concerns. Program features include (1) live, immediate assistance, (2) face to face counseling services, (3) comprehensive work/life website, (4) telephonic coaching services, (5) legal assistance, (6) identity theft prevention and recovery, and (7) financial services.
Employee Health Center:
Miami University has partnered with TriHealth to provide on-campus, high-quality care on the Oxford campus at no cost for employees and dependents covered by Miami's health plan. You must provide a photo ID and Anthem ID card to receive services at the employee health center. Based on an assessment by the staff and subject to the patient's choice, TriHealth may refer you for higher levels of care or needed specialty services, including urgent or emergency care options and primary care and specialist referrals. Any services provided outside of the health center will be processed through insurance (for example, a radiologist fee for reading an x-ray will go toward the deductible/co-insurance per Miami's health plan).
