Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
The following information was shared in the KISD District Wide Wednesday announcements.
Holidays can be an overwhelming time of year and the challenges you face each day can lead to stressful feelings. Your home life, your happiness and your performance at work all can suffer.
Our Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is designed to provide confidential support for those everyday challenges or more serious problems, and it’s available around the clock -- anytime you need it.
This service is available to all employees in the District! Our current EAP is Care 24 Services and their phone number is 1-888-887-4114.
Care 24 Services will be our vendor until December 31, 2015. Starting January 1, 2016, our EAP will be with Optum. Optum’s phone number is 1-866-248-4094.
All you need to do is tell them you are an employee from Keller ISD.
