The Madison Metropolitan School District recognizes that its employees may from time to time face crises for which they require support and special resources. It is with this understanding that the MMSD Employee Assistance Program (EAP) has been developed to serve your needs as an employee. Assistance is available through a 24-hour help line administered by WorkHealthLife. EAP is a voluntary and confidential program designed to promote the well-being of employees and their family members regarding a broad range of concerns.

Is there a cost for the program?
No. There is no cost to you or your family members. However, if after utilizing the 3-in-person visits requires additional services of an outside agency or health care provider, there may be a charge for such services. Many, if not all, of these costs may be covered by your health insurance plan.
When can I use the EAP?
You may access the EAP at any time. 24 hours/day. Remember, early identification of a problem can often prevent more serious problems later on.
