Employee Assistance Programme
Starting from January 2013, DIT is offering a free confidential counselling and information service (an Employee Assistance Programme), provided by Vhi Corporate Solutions (VHI).
When life gets on top of us, we all need someone to talk to, that’s exactly how your EAP service can help. In times of crises or emotional distress, you can have peace of mind that your EAP can provide the practical assistance and emotional support you need. DIT recognises the issues all employees and their families experience and that it is in everyone’s best interest to ensure that personal and work-related problems are solved as early as possible.
Whether you decide to get in touch with VHI over the phone or via email, support is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. You can also see a counsellor locally for face to face counselling.
The EAP service can help you or your family with problems in any of these areas:

We encourage you to talk to VHI, whether you require access to the information or counselling service call freephone 1800 995 955 or you can email an enquiry to the specialist information service. In addition, you can also access the service via the Vhi EAP Online Tool by logging into the following URL address: Vhieaponline.co, the username is VhiDIT and the password is EAP. Also attached is a VHI Booklet giving additional background information for your convenience.
The service being provided by VHI is being managed through the Directorate of Academic Affairs and Registrar and we will be working with each Directorate in DIT in the coming months to invite you to a launch presentation. There will be posters around the Institute reminding you of the service and regular information on the service will be communicated via UPDATE.
Kind regards
