This is strictly a voluntary and confidential program that utilizes outside trained professionals.
Services are offered by Employee Services, Inc and offer you up to four (4) professional and confidential counseling sessions. There is no cost for using Employee Services. NYSUT has pre-paid for the plan as a benefit to you and your eligible dependents.
