Johns Hopkins is committed to providing resources to support the well-being of its employees and their household members, especially during these unprecedented and uncertain times. The Office of Benefits & Worklife, along with a workgroup and key stakeholders, recently completed an exhaustive search to find a new external employee assistance program provider to better complement its internal counseling team and to provide enhanced experiences to make employees' lives easier.
Calls are now answered 24/7/365 by the counselors of its new vendor, Corporate Counseling Associates. Enhancements with CCA include:
- Better experiences. EAP users will no longer have to call from a long list of providers to access services. CCA will locate a provider that has availability and meets your preferences of appointment times, location, and mode of sessions.
- Diverse provider network. CCA has a vast provider network to meet the needs and preferences of Hopkins employees, and they can help you find a provider that will be a good fit for what you are looking for, including special populations served, gender, race, languages, and more.
- More counseling sessions. Johns Hopkins is now providing up to six free sessions for counseling services for short-term needs.
- Ease of scheduling. Hopkins' onsite counseling team continues to be available in Baltimore on the Homewood, Eastern, and East Baltimore campuses. CCA is working closely with our onsite team to help make the scheduling and rescheduling process easier and timely for employees.
- Additional discounts through a partnership with Perks at Work on the CCA website. To access them, go to hr.jhu.edu/benefits-worklife/support-programs, click on the CCA@YourService link (code JHEAP), go to Centers, and click on Savings Center. First-time users will need to register using the company name of Workplace Options US and the company code EAP.
