ITEM:
Discussion and possible action on any and all matters regarding the name change of EAP Preferred to Integrated Behavioral Health (IBH), Inc., effective June 1, 2021, and the ratification and approval of the Agreement with IBH. (Susan Posada, Broker and Consultant)
SUMMARY:
Integrated Behavioral Health, Inc. ("IBH") was a parent company to Employee Assistance Program ("EAP") Preferred, and effective June 1, 2021, they moved their organization over to the IBH EAP Platform. This change came with an enhanced website and an emotional support online Peer Support Groups while maintaining the same services provided under EAP Preferred.
IBH will continue with the existing EAP services agreement made effective on February 1, 2019, for the Traumatic Counseling Program for Public Safety Personnel so long as the employer maintains the EAP services agreement with IBH. This Agreement is retroactively effective as of July 1, 2021, since all they are doing is a name change. Under Section 4.1, the Agreement automatically renews annually on July 1 unless either party terminates the Agreement with at least 60 days' notice before July 1.
The critical incident stress debriefings for Public Safety employees exposed to traumatic events in the line of duty is a benefit required by A.R.S. 38-672.
