Resources for Living

Through Resources for Living, the City's Employee Assistance Program (EAP), your spouse and other eligible members of your household have 24/7 access to help with issues such as marital or emotional relationship problems, drug and alcohol abuse, depression, stress and financial hardships — at no cost to you.

The program allows up to six free confidential counseling sessions per issue to help with any of these issues before any type of payment is required. After the free sessions, you can continue services with the provider covered under the City of Fort Worth’s insurance plan, but a copay and/or coinsurance similar to the payment process for medical providers and services may be required.

Also, many issues can be addressed directly with your EAP professional; in some cases, you may be referred to other resources. EAP services are available in person, via phone or online.
