Employee Support Programs

Personal issues, planning for life events or simply managing daily life can affect your work, health and family.
In an effort to equip our employees with tools for crisis, mental health and counseling support, we offer an Employee Assistance Program and information about other free resources. Available resources offered through TRS ActiveCare have also been provided for employees using district health insurance.

Employee Assistance Program

The Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is a voluntary, employer sponsored benefit that provides free and confidential support to employees and their dependents. The program offers professional help for personal and work related challenges that may affect mental, emotional, or physical well being. The EAP is provided at no cost to you or your dependents and is completely confidential.

Through EmployeeConnect, employees and eligible family members can access confidential assessments, short term counseling, referrals, and follow up services. Support is available for a wide range of concerns, including stress and anxiety, depression, grief, substance dependency, work pressures, and other life challenges. You and your family are eligible for up to five in person counseling sessions per person, per issue, per year. For your initial contact, call 866-628-4824.

Health Insurance Programs

Mental health care is health care. Employees, and their covered dependents, who have insurance through the district have additional access to assistance for their health and well being.

Every TRS-ActiveCare BlueCross BlueShield plan covers mental health. From in-person appointments to free online resources, and health education podcasts, participants have the ability to obtain the resources they need. Visit the Mental Health page for complete details.

For other health and wellness benefits included in your health coverage that can help you get – and stay - healthier, take a look at the Health and Wellbeing page.

You can see copay information and other coverage details for your specific plan by visiting Coverages and Benefits.

In addition, the optional telehealth benefit (services provided by Recuro Health) includes unlimited behavioral health consultations with no additional consultation fees. If interested, employees need to enroll in Telehealth ($12/month rate) during our annual open enrollment. The service provides 24/7/365 access to board-certified doctors via telephone or video consultations that can diagnose, recommend treatment and prescribe medication.
