Did you know that you have Capital EAP on your side?
The Capital Employee Assistance program has been around since 1978 and has nearly 100 participating businesses, including yours! Hudson Valley Community College has contracted with Capital EAP to give these services to you, free of charge!
That means that for any issue which affects your work or home life, including depression, anxiety, marital problems or drug and/or alcohol dependence, you have up to three sessions with an accredited EAP clinician, at no cost to you.
We can generally see you within 3 to 5 business days of your initial call; and it’s completely confidential! And if, for some reason, you can’t make it to our office, there are telephonic sessions available to you as well. Not sure if your issue warrants a whole session? “Talk to Me Tuesdays” is a program available every Tuesday from noon to 1:30 p.m.; you can call into our office and talk to a counselor about anything troubling you — with no appointment necessary!
Capital EAP also offers free legal and financial referrals to those who need advice in those delicate areas, and it’s just a phone call away. Contact us anytime to get your free 30-minute consultation with a financial or legal professional, Monday to Thursday, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., or Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. We’re here to help!
In addition to the great counseling and referral services already mentioned, Capital EAP also has Open Workshops available to you on topics such as Dealing with Difficult People and Preventing Workplace Violence, just to name a few. These workshops will build your skills and help you create and maintain a successful and fulfilling work environment.
And finally, Capital EAP is in partnership with many local businesses and the benefit goes to you: Excelsior College, Best Fitness, Adirondack Health and Wellness and eCornell are all businesses/programs which offer discounted benefits to Capital EAP members. Call us today at 518-465-3813 for more information.
Take advantage of your benefits!
