Marquette University Expands Mental Health and Financial Wellness Resources for Employees
Marquette University is enhancing its support for employee mental health and financial well-being, particularly as colder weather and the holiday season can exacerbate stress. All faculty and staff now have access to free counseling through the Employee Assistance Program (EAP), LifeMatters, which offers up to six confidential sessions for issues like anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and financial pressures. Employees and their spouses can also utilize free stress management-focused wellness coaching. For those enrolled in a Marquette medical insurance plan, in-network mental health care providers and virtual mental health support via Teladoc are available for a $10 co-pay per visit. Additionally, the Tria Health benefit provides ongoing support for chronic mental health conditions requiring medication, including pharmacist consultations to optimize medication effectiveness and potentially reduce costs. Financial planning assistance is also offered through the Francis financial planning benefit.
