EAP Resources
Please remember that the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) offers free, voluntary, and confidential consultation and assistance for employees and their immediate family members, and is here for you during this challenging time. EAP counselors can help you find constructive ways to manage anxiety and any other concerns you may have. The EAP is currently offering teletherapy via phone or secure video conferencing. Call 315-471-1361 or email eap@ocmboces.org to schedule an appointment, or if you just need to talk to someone.
The EAP has also gathered a number of resources that you or your family members may find useful during this challenging time. Click here to download the Coping With COVID Employee Toolkit.

Mental Health Supports
During this difficult and challenging time, you may be feeling, anxious, sad, overwhelmed, or angry at times. Visit our new Mental Health and Well-Being page for a list of mental health supports available to you if you find yourself struggling with your emotions.

Telemedicine
All employees covered by the ICSD insurance plan can receive care 24/7 via telemedicine. Normally, telemedicine visits follow the deductible and copay schedule outlined in your BCBS plan, however, in an effort to free up provider offices, urgent care centers, and hospitals and keep people home, all telehealth visits (not just those related to the coronavirus) are now covered in full for all groups in New York State for the duration of the state of emergency.

Letter from the Wellness Committee
March 24, 2020
Greetings,
Wellness Committee is thinking of you and your families. Thank you, staff and teachers for your continued efforts to take care of our students and families. Don't neglect or forget about your own needs. Shout out to Marie Sadusky for her support in creating these resources for staff. Stay healthy and inside. While this uncertainty has created stress, anxiety, loss and grief, there are also gifts-space for reflection, time with family and loved ones, and opportunity for personal growth...
Blessings,
Wellness Committee
