Support: Assistance with a specific challenge
We all need a little extra support from time to time. It’s okay to seek support!
Talk it out
We all experience times when things don’t seem okay, and it’s okay to reach out to others for support. These resources are designed to support you with a variety of emotional health needs.
Resources for Living offers 24/7 support
Resources for Living, our Employee Assistance Program (EAP), offers support whenever you need it. Qualified mental health professionals are available 24/7 to offer short-term support ― as well as options for longer-term support. Call (888) 488-4488 to talk to someone right away or visit the Resources for Living website (username and password = MYDOWEAP).

Behavioral health treatment through your medical plan
Your medical plan allows for additional mental health, behavioral health and substance misuse services on both an inpatient and outpatient basis, as well as medication-assisted treatment that combines the use of medications with counseling and behavioral therapy to provide a “whole patient” approach to treatment. You can also receive behavioral health care from the comfort of your home with Teladoc through Aetna (other medical carriers may offer similar services).
Talk to others facing similar issues
While your situation and feelings are unique, it can help to connect with others going through similar issues you’re facing. National crisis lines are completely confidential and are available 24/7 to talk to someone about a specific issue.
