Expanded benefits in 2019

A new addition to the EAP, called “myStrength,” is an online program available 24/7. Described as “a health club for your mind,” the goal of myStrength is to “promote ongoing emotional wellbeing.” Through the use of inspirational videos and quotes, articles and various tools for stress management, myStrength aims to help people struggling with depression, substance abuse issues, trouble sleeping and many other conditions that can have a negative impact on mental health.

Also beginning Jan. 1, 2019, Anthem EAP will begin offering up to eight free face-to-face counseling sessions with a licensed therapist to State of Indiana employees, their spouses, dependents and others living in their homes, per issue and per year. The expanded number of counseling sessions more than doubles the amount offered previously (three) and accompanies an all-new program intended to boost emotional wellness.
