Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

Managed Health Network (Employee Assistance Programs)

The County provides an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) which is administered by Managed Health Network (MHN).  Your EAP provides confidential, professional short-term counseling services for you and your eligible family members.  The EAP also provides online services for County employees.

All eligible full-time or part-time employees can receive assistance and counseling through MHN.  Your eligible dependents may also receive EAP benefits.

An employee may elect to enroll a domestic partner and/or the dependents of a domestic partner for this benefit.  If you enroll a domestic partner and/or dependents of a domestic partner in this program, federal taxes will be deducted from your paycheck based on the value of the benefit.

The program provides six (6) counseling sessions for each incident/issue per year for you and for each of your eligible dependents, at no cost to you.  There are no co-payments, co-insurance, or deductible payments.
