Our program is also available to the family members or significant others of FIT employees,
as well as retirees and their family members. The FIT/UCE EAP upholds the strictest professional and legal standards of confidentiality.

Once you contact the EAP, a trained counselor is available to speak with you, make an assessment of the problem, provide information and an appropriate referral if necessary. In making the referral, among the things we take into account are an individual’s finances, geographical location, gender and sexual orientation, ethnic and racial background,
and whatever preferences a person has for the practitioner they will be referred
to for assistance.
