CHL behavioral health counselors offer confidential and professional on-site counseling and referral services to benefits-eligible employees and their dependents covered on a Purdue medical plan. They are available to help employees address a wide range of issues, whether they relate to an employee's personal life, family or job. Employees must first engage with the behavioral health provider for their campus (SupportLinc (EAP Services) - Human Resources - Purdue University, Bowen Center – Fort Wayne or New Avenues – Hammond/Westville) for behavioral health needs. From there, they can be referred to the CHL counselors for long-term behavioral health support and care.
