EAP offers postdoc wellness program

Post-doc life, a time between being a trainee and an independent professional, is unique.  Challenges can include struggles with professional identity, structuring time and prioritizing tasks, and maintaining motivation after years of dedicated work.     

The Postdoc Wellness Program of Work/Life Connections-EAP was created to promote psychological resilience and support personal and professional well-being for post docs to develop strengths, refine skills, and establish professional identities.

The program's success is due to our accessibility, confidentiality, and compassion. Licensed clinicians can assess and give recommendations tailored to the individual. Recommendations may include performance coaching, short-term counseling, or referrals to resources and/or community providers.

To schedule a confidential appointment with one of our licensed EAP clinicians, call 615-936-1327 weekdays from 8a.m. to 5 p.m.

In the event of an emergency or a crisis after hours, a counselor-on-call is available by calling 615-936-1327 and giving the appropriate information to the answering service.
