Richmond Community Schools prioritizes the well-being of its employees, recognizing the importance of mental health support. As part of our commitment, we offer an Employee Assistance Program (EAP). An EAP is a dedicated service designed to offer brief, solution-focused consultations aimed at assisting employees in addressing their concerns or finding appropriate resources. It's important to note that while the EAP provides valuable support, it is not intended for crisis or emergency intervention.

Our partnership with CuraLinc Healthcare, employees have access to professional services at NO COST. Our EAP counselor is available to assist with a variety of life-altering issues, including but not limited to:

In-the-moment support. Reach a licensed clinician by phone 24/7/365 when you call for assistance to help resolve work related pressures, depression, stress, anxiety, grief, relationship problems, substance use, or other emotional health concerns.
Short-term Counseling. Receive a referral for in-person or virtual (video) counseling sessions with a counselor who is available at a time and place that is most convenient for you.
