Well-Being Programs

Life Made Easier.

An additional well-being resource available to you is the GW Employee Assistance Program (EAP), which offers postdoc associates and scholars along with their immediate family members confidential, 24/7 access to professional counselors who can help with a wide variety of life challenges and concerns including relationships at home, issues at work and more.

The EAP also offers a free, confidential, unlimited phone-based Life Coach program that can help you with career exploration, parenting, communication, relationships, wellness goals and more.

When you contact the EAP, a professional counselor will assess your needs, provide up to 5 counseling and support sessions, and connect you with appropriate benefit programs and/or community resources – all at no cost to you.

Talkspace, the text therapy app, is now available through the GW EAP. Talkspace makes it easy and convenient to connect with a licensed behavioral therapist—from just about anywhere, at any time. Postdoc associates, scholars and their eligible dependents (13+ years and up) receive five weeks of text therapy (per issue) to be used within a 120-day window.

For more information or to access the resources available through the EAP, call 866-522-8509, or visit resourcesforliving.com and enter the username (GW-Wellbeing) and password (Yourlife).

Headspace, the mindfulness app, is available at no cost to Postdoc Associates and Scholars. The app offers meditation, sleep, exercises and kids programs. Please visit Headspace to sign up today!

Sign up using your computer or device, such as a tablet or iPhone. To use on a tablet or phone, the Headspace app will need to be downloaded first.
Only your @gwu.edu email address can be used to sign up.

You are not required to be enrolled in a GW sponsored medical plan to have access or participate in any of these programs.
