Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
The EAP strives to embrace diversity and cultivate inclusion in all aspects of its operations to best serve all our clients. If there is anything we can do to better serve your needs, please let us know.

At the Employee Assistance Program (EAP), we want to acknowledge the pain and impact to our community related to current, historical, and systemic racism and violence against Black Americans and people of color, and we recognize that racism not only exists in these obviously painful ways but also through implicit bias. The EAP staff is committed to creating equity and justice and to continuing to do our own work to stand up against racism. We recognize that these experiences as well as those related to the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic are impacting many faculty and staff in complex and traumatic ways.

Juneteenth commemorates when Union soldiers arrived in Galveston on June 19, 1865 and when the Emancipation Proclamation was enforced and put into effect in Texas. Interim President Hartzell suggested employees reflect and engage in activities related to this important day. The EAP offers these resources to help guide you today and beyond as we listen to, learn from, and support one another:

Resources for Buffering Against the Impact of Racial Trauma

Anti-Racism Resources

Nourishing Ourselves Against the Impact of Historic, Systemic Racial Trauma

How to Support Black Colleagues

“Notice the Rage, Notice the Silence” podcast
