Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

Hudson Valley Community College subscribes to the Capital Employee Assistance Program, a confidential assistance program designed to allow an employee experiencing a problem to self refer for three (3) counseling visits designed to provide problem resolution or guidance to an appropriate agent for further assistance. This program is entirely confidential.

Professional counseling services offered include but are not limited to marriage or relationship problems, difficulties with children or elder relatives, depression, grief and loss, stress-related concerns, substance abuse, fear and anxiety, anger management, or legal and financial issues. Capital EAP also provides training workshops at different locations throughout the area. Schedules are distributed quarterly (usually with your paycheck) and are also available on the EAP website; www.capitaleap.org.

To make an appointment contact Capital EAP at (518) 465-3813 or 1-800-777-6531. Counseling appointments are typically made within three to five business days. There are no co-pays or costs for this initial contact.

There are affiliate locations throughout the region, NYS and the U.S. and several office locations in our area:
