Testimonials
See what UFT members are saying about the Member Assistance Program.
"A little over a year ago, I met with you and you kindly and generously walked me through some of my options for treatments. You then helped me do intake at a facility, arranging the time and date of my stay. When I came to the MAP office, I was terrified. I was afraid of losing my job and I was afraid of what it meant to go to rehab. Your calm disposition put me at ease. You made me feel respected and listened to. You were so welcoming and understanding. For my recovery, to have you on my side, for you to be one of the first people who helped me, it was exactly what I needed. Today, I celebrate one year of sobriety. Thank you so much for your professionalism and your humanity. You helped me get to where I am today."
"You made me feel respected and listened to. You were so welcoming and understanding."
"This [MAP workshop] gave me many ideas and ways to debrief after work. My mental and physical health comes first...if I am not mentally and physically there, I will not be there as I need to be for my students."
"I strongly recommend using our Member Assistance Program (MAP)...I was able to meet with a psychiatrist within two days."
"MAP was my starting point to recovery including finding me a treatment center. It’s been 3 years and 6 months for me and I couldn’t have done it without MAP and AA.”
"Thank you so much for your professionalism and your humanity. You helped me get to where I am today."
"This Grief & Loss session has reminded me that I am human, and I can feel my feelings and there is nothing wrong with it. The session host is kind and soft spoken and I appreciate that."
