The Alcoholism Council of New York Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
Employee Assistance Programs or "EAP" are designed to assist organizations in addressing productivity
issues by helping their employees identify and address personal concerns about alcohol, other drugs,
health, family finances, stress and other issues that may affect job performance. In 1976, the
Alcoholism Council of New York began providing EAP services when it was then known as
the New York City Affiliate of the National Council on Alcoholism, initially under the direction of
Dr. Nicholas A. Pace (Founding Board Member).
Mission

treatable disease of alcoholism and other drug dependencies. By providing education, prevention,
counseling and advocacy services, the Council restores hope to individuals and families and enhances
