Work/Life Resources

Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

Your home and work life impacts your health. The Employee Assistance Program provides access to work/life resources, and licensed clinicians. They can help you cope with a wide variety of concerns, from family and financial issues to substance use, emotional health, and stress.

Both the EAP provider and the university view the confidentiality of these services to be of utmost importance. If you access the services directly, the university never knows you have participated. Although Human Resources receives quarterly reports from the provider, these reports only reveal the usage numbers and general categories of issues - never any names or identifying information.

To access the program directly, employees or their immediate family members may call 1-877-622-4327 (select “2” at the prompt) and indicate that they are covered by the University of San Diego. You may also visit their online website.

If you do not have any other Cigna lines of coverage, please register to access EAP information. When at the “Confirm your identity” page of the registration process, select the “I want to register for the Employee Assistance Program or Confide ONLY” option
