FACULTY AND STAFF:
The Employee Counseling and Consultation Office (ECCO) offers free and confidential counseling, consultation, workshops, and referral service that is available on the UMass Amherst campus. At the Employee Counseling and Consultation Office (ECCO), we work with people struggling with a wide variety of difficulties, including, but not limited to, adjustment to life or work transitions, interpersonal conflict, relationship or parenting stress as well as management of mental or physical heath issues. No problem is too big or too small. We provide a confidential space to better understand your situation, find support, and explore possible solutions to your concerns. ECCO is also here to support you as a supervisor. It can be hard to know how to be helpful to a supervisee whose work life is negatively impacted by a personal or mental health crisis. Or perhaps it has been a challenge to set boundaries, communicate expectations clearly or hold supervisees accountable. We are happy to offer consultation in the spirit of clarifying dynamics, building better communication and mutual cooperation, and identifying resources. Consultations can be by phone or in-person.
