In life, you face a whole range of everyday issues and questions. While managing your work, personal and family needs can sometimes feel overwhelming. That's why Kent State University provides the Employee Assistance and Work/Life program through IMPACT Solutions.
The IMPACT program can assist with problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, child and eldercare needs, marital concerns or substance abuse. They can also provide assistance for financial, legal or identity theft issues. All resources are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. IMPACT services are confidential and provided by credentialed professionals. All employees, household members, dependents in and away from home, and parents/parents-in-law are eligible to use any of the IMPACT services.
IMPACT provides up to six confidential counseling sessions, at no cost. If treatment or services needed go beyond the six sessions, IMPACT will make every effort to transition the client to a provider that participates in their network. Many services can now be offered through telemental health, which provides additional convenience and flexibility to busy schedules as well as eliminates travel barriers. There are no limitations to telephonic or online resources provided by IMPACT or its comprehensive work/life website.
For immediate assistance you can reach IMPACT directly at 1-800-227-6007 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
