Penn State offers an Employee Assistance Program that is free and confidential for all full-time benefits-eligible employees, postdoctoral scholars, their spouses and dependents, as well as members of their household.

Employees can contact SupportLinc at supportlinc.com (group code: pennstate) or call (888) 501-3532. This is available 365 days a year and 24 hours a day.

You do not need to be in a crisis to contact SupportLinc. You could be feeling frustrated, need an outlet, or just need someone to listen. While the most frequently used services are the counselors, SupportLinc also offers support for employees related to financial expertise, finding resources for child, elder or pet care, legal consults, assistance in understanding medical bills, and much more. If you would like to talk to someone, you can access an in-person counselor or online support/counselor.
