The Employee Assistance Program:

The Strong Employee Assistance Program (Strong EAP) offers professional guidance to employees and their families whose personal or work-related problems have become hard to manage alone.  Strong EAP provides confidential and immediate help with health, marital, and family issues; drug and alcohol addictions; stress management; financial; legal issues; and any other concerns that may affect an employee’s ability to cope effectively at home or at work.  Employees or their family members may meet with a Strong EAP professional free of charge.  Costs associated with referral resources outside Strong EAP are the individual’s responsibility, but may be covered in part or in whole by the individual’s insurance plan.  To reach the Strong EAP, call 475-0432 in an emergency contact a Strong EAP professional by calling their pager at 220-0441.  Strong's EAP web site is www.urmc.rochester.edu/EAP.
