Harvard's Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is more than a counseling referral service. It provides resources and consultation to help you manage virtually any aspect of your life.  Look to the EAP for:

• Free legal consultation
• Connection to pet services, such as cat sitters and dog walkers
• Help navigating the college application process
• Help finding day care providers in your area with current openings
• Consultation on financial issues such as budgeting, debt reduction, and financial planning

Services are available 24 hours a day. Consultants take calls from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Thursday, and from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday. Crisis support is available at the same number, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

 Call 877-EAP-HARV (877-327-4278) 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
