Practically Speaking: It's Not the Principal's Office! The ABCs of EAPs
In this episode of Practical for Your Practice, hosts Jenna Ermold and Carin Lefkowitz sit down with Dr. Randy Martin, Clinical Director of the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for the New York Presbyterian Hospital System. Despite being a fixture in most large organizations, EAPs often remain "under the radar" for many behavioral health providers. Dr. Martin demystifies the "ABC of EAPs," explaining how these programs serve as the "mental health equivalent of a primary care physician" by providing short-term counseling, assessment, and organizational support.
The conversation explores the parallels between EAP work and military mental health, the importance of proactive outreach during life transitions, and how providers can partner with EAPs to expand their own practices. Listen to a quick highlight below or check out the full episode by clicking here!
