Pacific University supports the comprehensive wellbeing of our employees with the Employee Assistance Program through Cascade Centers. This confidential service helps you access free wellness and counseling resources to support you and your family through psychological problems, marriage difficulties, problems with children, financial struggles, coping with the stress of an illness in the family, and alcohol- or drug-related problems.
The EAP also has health coaches who can help you approach personal wellness goals, like quitting tobacco or losing weight. And, their free online resources include personal wellness evaluations, goal-setting support, and even legal resources, such as an interactive online will program.
An important factor of employee wellness is employee health. As such, Pacific University employees have free use of the Stoller Center, Holce Tennis Courts and the Lincoln Park Athletic Complex with a Pacific ID. Also, Faculty and staff also are welcome to take part in free fitness classes and intramural competitions, such as yoga and Zumba classes or intramural basketball leagues.
