Texas A&M University
PA-11: Wellness Program

The Texas A&M University Employee Assistance Program (EAP) provides a variety of services for employees including personal counseling, mediation, and crisis intervention. In addition, management consultation is available which includes consultations with supervisors, management, and faculty on issues such as employee job productivity concerns, conflict in the work environment, team building, and the referral process to the EAP. Crisis intervention services are provided to faculty, staff, and eligible dependents when emergency situations arise. Critical incident stress debriefing is available. This is a process designed specifically to prevent or mitigate the development of post stress related issues. The EAP also offers educational workshops on a variety of topics. Texas A&M University Wellness Works is a program designed to encourage employees to live healthier lifestyles, to support a healthy workplace and to create a culture of wellness throughout the campus community. It incorporates existing campus resources, as well as new programs, focused on Physical, Financial, and Interpersonal Health. Wellness Works is designed to focus on the “whole” individual to increase awareness and provide resources and activities to empower faculty and staff to be healthy in all aspects of their life. This will benefit them, their family and the university community. Past programs included Retirement and Financial Planning Fair, flu vaccines, Health and Wellness Fair and 5K Fun Runs/3K Walks. The goal of the Texas A&M University Student Counseling Service (SCS) is to help students achieve as much success as possible while at Texas A&M University. The SCS provides short-term counseling and crisis intervention services to the largest number of students possible within the limits of its resources. SCS counseling staff incorporate into practice awareness, respect, and valuing of cultural differences. We offer a wide variety of counseling services such as Career Counseling, Crisis Intervention, Learning Disability and ADD/ADHD Screenings, Personal Counseling, Psychiatric Services, Self-Help, Outreach, and Consultation, Stress Management & Biofeedback Training and Testing Services.
