HR is pleased to announce the launch of UPEI’s new Employee Assistance Program (EAP), available through GreenShield Health beginning July 1, 2025.

This comprehensive, confidential, and accessible program offers a wide range of services to support your mental health and overall well-being, including:

5 hours of individual counselling (Green Shield will closely monitor usage and will provide additional hours to those who need further support, to ensure that no one is denied access to the program because of insufficient sponsored hours in any policy year) and 5 hours of couples therapy.

Additional program highlights include:

• Flexible therapy options via phone, video, or in-person, with 30, 60, or 90-minute sessions
• Personalized therapist matching that considers DEI preferences
• Unlimited 15-minute consultations to help members find their ideal therapist
• Innovative, value-added services in areas such as children’s mental health, nutrition, and overall well-being

Unlimited financial and legal consultations.

Self-guided digital CBT, well-being coaching, and personalized care navigation.

Digital pharmacy and nutrition services.

The program is offered through GreenShield’s secure GreenShield+ platform, with a guaranteed premium rate of $2.58/month for the first 5 years, cost-shared according to your collective agreement.

For more information, please watch your inbox for an email from Human Resources with login instructions on June 30, 2025.

If you are currently using EAP services through Telus Health, you may continue accessing support until your care is complete.
