The Resource Center/Employee Assistance Program

About The Resource Center EAP
The Resource Center is a counseling and employee assistance program designed to provide employees and their families with resources for resolving work-related and personal problems. We provide individual, couples and family counseling to assist our clients in clarifying issues, exploring options, and finding solutions.

Our mission is to provide a variety of counseling, educational and wellness services in a safe and caring environment to promote the well-being of the individual in all aspects of life. We address the concerns of people with diverse needs and life experiences with respect for the dignity and confidentiality of the individual.

We have been providing Employee Assistance services at UAB since 1979.
We are currently serving more than 23,000 employees and their families for UAB and other contracted employees.

Please note that as of January 1, 2010 a policy is in place affecting UAB and the UAB Health System employees and family members. UAB and UAB Health System employees and family members may see a Resource Center counselor up to 12 times per calendar year. For details about the services provided by your employer, please go to the page dedicated to your employer (see list at left).
