Employee Assistance Program

Impact Solutions

In life, you face a whole range of everyday challenges and questions. Balancing work, personal, and family needs can sometimes feel overwhelming. CWRU is pleased to offer Impact Solutions (an All One Health company), the university's Employee Assistance and Work/Life Program, which offers around-the-clock support.

Benefits-eligible faculty and staff, as well as their household and family members, can receive free, confidential counseling and referrals for a wide spectrum of challenges and daily living matters—from stress and family issues to depression, anxiety, substance abuse, legal and financial pressures, child and elder care needs, and other commonly experienced concerns. There are even services like nutrition counseling and mindfulness coaching.

To inquire about services, call 800-227-6007. Your call will be answered by a qualified masters/doctoral level mental health professional 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. There are no limitations to in-the-moment phone support or online resources provided by Impact and its comprehensive member portal. Face-to-face counseling and other coaching services are also available, with up to five free sessions included per problem occurrence.
