The Office of Employee Assistance (OEA) is the faculty and staff employee assistance program at FIU. The OEA provides free confidential professional assistance to help employees and their families resolve personal problems that affect their lives or job performance.
OEA provides mental health assessments, brief interventions and/or referrals, small group facilitations, crisis responses and customized educational and training programs.
Appointments are available between 8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. To schedule an appointment for any service or to request information for courses, workshops, group events and more, trainees can call (305) 348-2469, or email OEA at oea@fiu.edu. Early morning and evening appointments are available by request.
After business hours, trainees who contact the OEA Office will be given the option to be redirected to ProtoCall, a 24/7 crisis care service offering behavioral health support.
