11 - Employee/Student Assistance Program
The Partners Healthcare Student/Employee Assistance Program (SAP/EAP) at MGH assists Institute students in dealing with personal problems that may pose a threat to their health and well-being. The program assists with problems such as mental health, parenting concerns, marital and family distress, elder care, financial concerns, emotional stress, and alcohol and/or drug dependency. Confidential services include consultation, assessment, short-term counseling, and referrals. Counselors are on campus two half-days each week to offer IHP student assessments, referrals, and short-term counseling (up to six visits).
The Student Assistance Program (SAP) is housed in the IHP Student and Alumni Center, Building 39. As always, students and household members can be seen in any of Partners SAP/EAP’s nine offices, or speak with a counselor over the phone. For more information on how the SAP can help, or to schedule an appointment, call (866) 724-4327. The main SAP/EAP office is at 175 Charles River Park at MGH, but they also have offices at different Partners locations in the Greater Boston area, the North Shore, and on Cape Cod. The telephone number is 617-724-4EAP. Office hours are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Other appointments may be available.
