EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

The Employee Assistance Program is a counseling and referral program that is available to you and your immediate family members - free of charge. You can use the EAP services even if you are not enrolled in a Vought Aircraft medical plan option or HMO.

The EAP is administered by Value Options, chosen by Vought Aircraft to provide this service.

The EAP is a professional and confidential counseling service. Counselors are available to help you and your family members resolve personal issues or problems before they affect your health, family, relationships, or job performance. The EAP can help you deal with:

• Death of a loved one
  
• Depression
  
• Family problems
  
• Financial matters through referrals
  
• Legal matters through referrals
  
• Relationship issues
  
• Stress
  
• Substance abuse
  
• Work-related issues

Your EAP consultations are completely confidential. No one at Vought Aircraft is told of your call or about any treatment you receive unless you authorize it or unless the law requires it.

EAP counselors are licensed mental health professionals who specialize in conducting comprehensive assessments and short-term problem-solving. They also have extensive knowledge of community resources in your area.

Receiving Care

There are two ways you can receive care through the EAP:

1. Contact ValueOptions
   
   • Call ValueOptions at 1-866-269-5800 , toll free, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Identify yourself as a Vought Aircraft employee, the spouse of an employee, or other eligible family member. Have the employee’s Social Security number available when you call.
   • Discuss your concerns with the EAP counselor. The counselor helps you assess your situation, clarify the problem, and develop a plan of action. The plan of action could include:
   • Follow-up discussions with the EAP counselor (there is no limit to the number of telephone contacts you can make)
     
   • Referrals to a ValueOptions EAP affiliate in your community for up to five in-person sessions for you and each of your eligible family members per benefit plan year
     
   • When needed, direct referrals to a resource available under your medical plan option

2. Visit an on-site counselor at a Vought Aircraft worksite
   

   Some Vought Aircraft sites have EAP counselors on site. The EAP counselors are licensed therapists who can assist you with personal concerns, especially those that interfere with work performance. You may self-refer to the EAP, or your supervisor may refer you. All meetings are confidential. For information regarding locations and appointments contact your worksite EAP representative through your Human Resources office.

If an EAP counselor is not available at your worksite, call Value Options at 1-866-269-5800 for assistance. Representatives are available 24 hours, seven days a week.

There is never any cost to you for services provided directly by the EAP. However, there may be costs for additional services recommended by the EAP.
