A brief description of the institution’s wellness and/or employee assistance program(s), including information to support each affirmative response above :
The Health & Wellness department at NMSU includes the Campus Health Center, Recreational Sports, Activity Center, Intramural Sports, Outdoor Recreation, Fitness and Wellness, and the Aquatic Center (natatorium and outdoor pool). They support the NMSU community with access to physical and mental health care, health and wellness related programs and to provide facilities for fitness activities.
The Mission of the Health and Wellness Center is to promote wellness of the body, mind, and spirit, and tangibly support a culture in which all community members understand, value, and make healthy lifestyle choices.
Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is an employee benefit administered by the Counseling and Student Development Center as part of our Campus Health Center. EAP is a free benefit to all NMSU employees. All EAP client records are kept strictly confidential and are not noted in any in an official University record or the employee's personnel file. Information discussed during the interview with the EAP counselor is not communicated to anyone without the employee's consent.
EAP is designed to assist university employees who are experiencing temporary or persistent personal problems that negatively affect their job performance. Employees may be self referred or referred by a supervisor for confidential professional assistance in solving personal problems.
The goals of the program are to:
1. Assist employees to resolve personal problems that can negatively impact upon job performance
2. To provide a source of assistance to which supervisors can refer an employee whose work performance is declining or has declined.
Employees desiring a gender specific counselor or a bilingual (Spanish/English) counselor can be accommodated upon request during the initial interview.
