of Ordained Ministry and/or the clergy session of members in full connection in accordance with 48 ¶354.1 may approve resources from the Sustentation Fund for use. 49

In the case of clergy taking Honorable Location or Administrative Location, resources from the 50 Sustentation Fund may be used upon recommendation of the Board of Ordained Ministry in 51 accordance with ¶359.1 and ¶363.3 b)(4), respectively. 52

Task Force on Counseling 1

In our ongoing effort to continually provide the most effective counseling services and resources for 2 clergy, diaconal ministers and families of the Central Texas Conference, the Task Force on 3 Counseling is pleased to announce the following improvements in benefits and services: 4

1. Participants are encouraged to take full advantage of the increased benefits and services 5 currently available through the 2012 Employee Assistance Program (EAP) and Behavioral 6 Health Services component already included as part of the Health Flex active plan. 7

2. The EAP offers greater benefits and broader access to vital counseling resources and 8 services. EAP participants are allowed eight counseling visits at 100% coverage with 9 precertification which represents a significant improvement over our current Conference 10 program. In addition, the Employee Assistance Program and Behavioral Health benefit offers 11 assistance with legal, financial, adult\elder support, child\parenting support, life learning and 12 chronic condition support. Many of those benefits and services are not currently offered 13 through the existing Conference Counseling program. 14

3. We encourage participants to take full advantage of EAP benefits and services now. The 15 Conference Counseling Program will continue in its present form through December 31st 2012, 16 primarily to allow those who are currently in a counseling relationship to begin transitioning to 17 the new model. A number of our current conference approved counselors may also be 18 included in the network of providers listed under the EAP. Please go to www.gbophb.org or 19 call 1-800-788-5614 for an approved list of network counselors or for additional questions 20 regarding benefits and services. 21

4. As of January 1st 2013 the Conference Counseling program will no longer exist. Instead, 22 participants will be able to access greater benefits and services provided through EAP and the 23 Health Flex active plan. The plan is already in place and participants are encouraged not to 24 wait but to take full advantage now of the opportunities provided by EAP. 25

The Committee on Counseling is pleased to offer an improved and more efficient model designed to 26 provide a broader range and wider scope of important benefits and services to our participants and 27 their families. The details of the Employee Assistance Program are highlighted below. 28
