Anthem/Blue Cross EAP is available to all paid employees (excluding student workers). This includes Certificated, Classified and Management full-time, part-time, adjunct, and short-term contract employees AND their families.

Anthem EAP is a voluntary, confidential program that helps employees work through various challenges that might adversely affect job performance, health, and personal well-being to optimize an organization's success.

EAP services include assessments, counseling, and referrals for additional services to employees with personal and/or work-related concerns, such as stress, workplace issues, financial issues, legal issues, family problems, office conflicts, and alcohol and substance use disorders.

EAP services also often work with management and supervisors providing advanced planning for situations, such as organizational changes, legal considerations, emergency planning, and response to unique traumatic events.

In addition to this EAP, MJC Health Services hosts a series of events called "Healthy Living Events" which are available to all faculty, staff, and students and focus on well-being issues: https://www.mjc.edu/studentservices/healthservices/healthyliving.php
