With today’s stress and continued uncertainty, we believe it is more important than ever that employees take care of themselves. Therefore, we want to make sure employees are aware of the different options available to them.  No one should feel alone or without the information, support, and help they need.

ACU MEDICAL AND COUNSELING CARE CENTER The ACU Medical and Counseling Care Center accepts employees and their families for appointments. ACU has licensed counselors that you can meet with at a reduced cost and all visits are completely confidential. For more information, you can call their offices at 325-674-2625 to ask questions or schedule an appointment.

EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM ACU offers you and your family members no-cost access to licensed counselors through our Employee Assistance Program (EAP). The EAP is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, regardless of whether you elect other benefits coverage through ACU. The EAP offers 100 percent confidential assistance with a variety of situations, including addiction, stress and anxiety, relationship problems, and financial challenges. Our EAP vendor has also created a coronavirus-specific phone line: 866-912-1687. The EAP can be reached 24 hours a day, seven days a week, by calling 800-538-3543 or visiting cignalap.com.

For many people, the Christian apocrypha are mysterious and fascinating. Who wrote these texts? Where do the stories come from? What purposes did they serve? What is their value today? If these questions interest you, join us tomorrow at 7 p.m. for a presentation by our local expert on the Christian apocrypha, Dr. Jacob Lollar. You can join in person in Chapel on the Hill or via Zoom webinar. Face masks and physical distancing are required on the ACU campus. Click here to register via Zoom.
