As the UT community comes back together in-person, the HealthPoint Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is here to help support the transition. We recognize that there are both new and persisting challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic so the EAP is continuing to offer these resources as a guide through some of these challenges.
