Mission Statement

At HealthPoint EAP, we strive to transform lives to improve personal and organizational effectiveness for the benefit of the entire UT community. We provide behavioral health expertise, promote wellness, and develop solutions to life's challenges 

Upcoming Events: Mindful Meditation, offered each Tuesday and Thursday from 5pm-5:15pm. EAP is offering guided mindfulness practices via the Zoom platform. Join us as we guide and instruct in mindful exercises that will help you feel more fully aware and presenting in the moments of everyday life. Register now through UT Learn.

We at the EAP are grieved and concerned that our Asian, Asian American and Pacific Islander colleagues specifically and the larger BIPOC community continue to suffer from ongoing violence, xenophobia, hate crimes, microaggressions, stereotyping, and racist jokes. We as a department extend our hand and support to say you don’t stand alone. As counselors we are dedicated to our continued learning and unlearning, to speaking up against the violence no matter how subtle it is, and to providing therapeutic spaces to support healing from racial trauma. We are committed to working for the safety and protection of the AAPI and BIPOC communities. As the EAP, we are here, listening and continuing to work to be responsive in collective care.

EAP would like to acknowledge that we are meeting on the Indigenous lands of Turtle Island, the ancestral name for what now is called North America. Moreover, EAP would like to acknowledge the Alabama-Coushatta, Caddo, Carrizo/Comecrudo, Coahuiltecan, Comanche, Kickapoo, Lipan Apache, Tonkawa and Ysleta Del Sur Pueblo, and all the American Indian and Indigenous Peoples and communities who have been or have become a part of these lands and territories in Texas.

Counseling Services

We support our mission statement by providing brief counseling and consultation services, crisis intervention, assessment and referral, educational and training programs, and supervisory consultation. 

Learn about our counseling services by visiting the counseling services page. HealthPoint Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is currently open and providing services remotely through video and phone counseling. The services offered and the eligibility requirements are the same as in-person counseling provided by EAP. Video counseling appointments are held via Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or telephone. These are easy to use and a secure system for confidential services. University employees who use Office 365 already have access associated with their work email address. When you make a video counseling appointment, you will receive step-by-step instructions. 

The EAP strives to provide an inclusive, supportive environment for all of our clients. If there is anything specific we can do be inclusive and supportive of you, please let us know.
