The most effective response to these problems is early intervention. Therefore, the Northern Illinois University Wellness and Assistance Program provides confidential, professional consultation and assessment for employees with a wide range of personal and family concerns. When necessary the program links employees and their family members with appropriate services within both the university and the broader community.
