Employee Assistance Program includes new, online COVID-19 resource center
COVID-19 is bringing a lot of changes to our lives, including stress and anxiety. WVU Medicine Human Resources has put together resources through Live Balanced, with Resources for Living, a confidential and comprehensive Employee Assistance Program (EAP) to help employees cope during this challenging time.
This is a free benefit for all benefit-eligible employees and their family members, regardless of whether or not they are enrolled in any employer benefits.
