Peer Counseling Program Continued:

Although we are not master's-degree trained mental health professionals, Branch 142 is available to assist our membership.  The first step is the hardest, a telephone call.  That's all it takes to make an appointment in a confidential setting with either the USPS EAP or Branch 142's PCP.  There is no cost to employees for USPS counseling and other services provided directly by the USPS EAP counselor.  There is no cost to Branch 142's PCP referral program however, you must be a member of Branch 142.  If outside treatment or professional services are needed, costs associated with services rendered are your responsibility.  Your health benefit plan or private insurance may cover cost associated with outside professional assistance.  Both the USPS counselor and Branch 142's PCP will work with you to identify professional assistance that is in-line with your individual financial situation.

The USPS EAP is confidential and is protected by strict confidentiality laws and regulations and by professional ethical standards for counselors.  Any assistance Branch 142's PCP counselors may provide is confidential.

Most of the above information was taken from the USPS EAP handout. Information about Branch 142's PCP is not a part of the handout and, the USPS does not have any responsibility for Branch 142's PCP.  Branch 142 reserves the right to not provide PCP services.
