Employee Assistance Center (EAC) Now Available
Michigan & Ohio Team:
We are pleased to inform you of coverage of a new employee benefit program for you and your family. It is referred to as an employee assistance program (EAP), and services are provided to you and your family from the Employee Assistance Center (EAC). The program is available to your immediate family, such as your spouse, children and significant others that reside with you.
We understand that there is a lot more involved in your relationship with the company than just what takes place at work. Personal problems, such as the death of a loved one, emotional upheaval, alcoholism, marital pressure, family conflict or financial stress may affect our health and performance at work.
We want to make it easy, convenient and affordable for you or your immediate family to seek professional help when struggling with any of life’s challenges, whether they’re presented at home or at work.
Initial appointments at the EAC are available free of charge. Trained professional counselors will help you identify and, in many cases, help empower you to solve your problems or refer you to area providers who can help. Out-of-pocket costs, if any, from referrals are often covered by your health care insurance.
Your visit and your sessions with a counselor are completely confidential. All records are kept at the Employee Assistance Center, not at your employer.
To access the Employee Assistance Center:
- Call 1-800-227-0905
- Visit www.eacworklife.com. The user name is KCI.
- This information is posted on the Kent Companies Employee Links web page.
If you have additional questions about the EAC, call 616-534-4909 or email Mindy Curtiss or Sarah Miller.
