The Trust offers this benefit to Retired Plan A, B and C and Early Retiree Plan retirees, spouses and dependents including those enrolled in Kaiser or Providence Open Option.

The employee assistance program is designed to provide confidential counseling, at no cost, for you and your dependents who need assistance with personal problems. The employee assistance program can provide help and counseling with issues such as:

1. Family stress, including relationship concerns and conflicts;
   
2. Life crises brought on by the death of someone close to you, divorce or other major life events;
   
3. Personal pressures, stress, depression;
   
4. Alcohol and drug concerns;
   
5. Financial and legal concerns; and
   
6. Parenting and elder care issues.

The employee assistance program provides up to three counseling sessions per issue with a professional counselor at no cost. If you are referred to (or elect) services or treatment by other resources or providers, you will be responsible for the cost. However, the costs may be covered by your health plan or will be of low or no cost to you.

Anything you discuss with the employee assistance program counselor remains strictly confidential, except as required by law. Any questions regarding confidentiality should be discussed with your counselor.
