Member Assistance Program
Feeling Stressed? Anxious? Need someone to talk to?
We all experience challenges in our personal and professional lives from time to time. While people often handle these on their own, some issues can be difficult to manage without a helping hand.
The Member Assistance Program (MAP) has trained professional counselors who guide you through the problems that can put your health and job in jeopardy. You can expect our services to be confidential, professional and supportive.
The MAP provides short-term counseling (individual or group) to UFT members by professionally trained mental health staff as well as referrals to outside resources.
What does MAP do?
- Offers short-term (individual or group) counseling in the MAP office
- Connects you to community support groups to fit your needs
- Offers referrals to appropriate substance abuse, eating disorders and mental health service programs
- Helps with family and relationship problems
- Arranges assistance for victims of domestic violence
- Provides referrals for legal and financial counseling services
- Makes referrals for trauma, bereavement and loss.
The MAP phone number is 212-701-9620. Our normal hours are 10 a.m. – 6 p.m., Monday through Friday (summer hours are 9 a.m. – 5 p.m., Monday through Thursday). Please note that sessions are by appointment only; no walk-ins. MAP services are provided at no cost to members.
