Mental Health

Details on the mental health benefits of the Bowdoin Health Plan are found here
Alternatively, many faculty have identified therapists through recommendations from community members (colleagues, neighbors, and friends) that they trust or from National Alliance on Mental Illness

Through the Employee Assistance Program (EAP), the College provides free, confidential counseling services to all benefits-eligible employees and members of their immediate families. These services include problem assessment, in person and virtual counseling (up to 8 sessions per issue fully paid by the College). You do not need to be enrolled on Cigna's health plan to avail yourself of these services.

The College is committed to establishing a work environment that promotes healthy lifestyles, decreases the risk of disease, and enhances the quality of life.
