Employee Assistance Program
We know that there are times when life and work can be stressful. That’s why we have partnered with McLaughlin Young to provide you with an employee assistance program (EAP). An EAP is a company benefit that provides support and resources for personal or work-related issues. Best of all, this confidential service is also free for all full-time employees and their households.
Why use an EAP?
EAP helps with a range of issues, including marital problems, family concerns, stress, work-life balance, relationship troubles, depression, substance abuse, grief, elder care, and more.
What is covered?
McLaughlin Young provides full-time employees and their immediate families with unlimited access to help, referrals, and 24-hour emergency support.
How does it work?
When you call the EAP, a licensed counselor will assess your needs. They will either help you with problem-solving sessions or refer you to affordable resources for ongoing support.Access online resources, free webinars, and more by visiting www.mygroup.com (Login: spcceap, Password: guest).

For questions or information related to the EAP, please contact employment@spcc.edu or call 704.272.5330. Or contact EAP directly at 704.529.1428 or 800.633.3353.
