New GuidanceConnect service provides quicker, more direct access to therapists

UF’s Employee Assistance Program, or EAP, provides UF faculty and staff as well as their household members access to free live counseling support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, through its partnership with ComPsych. Now, in addition to calling its toll-free number, (833) 306-0103, faculty and staff have the option to search for a network therapist and determine their availability via ComPsych’s portal.

To access the EAP’s new GuidanceConnect feature, visit guidanceresources.com and click on the Register tab to establish your profile, using the Organization Web ID UFEAP. After registering, click on “Connect to Care” to answer a few questions and to get matched with a pool of therapists who meet your clinical needs and preferences. In-person, telephone, video or chat counseling options are available.

If you have questions or would like more information, please email eap-help@ufl.edu.
