The Ohio State University Employee Assistance Program (EAP) offers a variety of resources to help improve mental health, reduce stress, and many work-life issues via the EAP My Life Expert portal. The portal provides 24/7 access to articles, tips, webinars, videos, forms, worksheets, and more on a variety of health and work-life topics, including, but not limited to, parenting, caretaking, physical and mental health, finances, legal concerns, career, and community resources, etc. 

For example, perhaps you are interested in improving your presentation skills; the EAP Portal has a soft-skills course for that. Maybe you would like to learn how to roll down your credit card debt—well there is a financial calculator to help you with that. Need suggestions on how to support your child in coping with emergencies? There is a helpful article on the portal. We encourage you to orient yourself to the EAP Portal and see for yourself the many things it can offer you. 

In addition to the wealth of information available on the EAP My Life Expert portal, we also provide service referrals for work-life resources. We can connect you with service referrals such as childcare, housing, transportation, and care for your pet. You can submit a request via the EAP My Life Expert portal using the online Service Request form for Daily Living Issues or call our intake team at 800-678-6265.
