EAPrefer™  -- a New Benefit for NASW-VT Members

 Beginning in January 2012, NASW will launch EAPrefer™ in Vermont. EAPrefer is an exciting new benefit – solely for NASW members - that puts your expertise and experience as clinical social workers to use as Employee Assistance Professionals.

By participating in EAPrefer, Vermont NASW members can provide much-needed services to the community through the workplace, helping employees with issues ranging from substance abuse to childcare. Members have the opportunity to receive referrals from EAP network providers through a program that allows them to easily match qualified social workers with clients in need.

“I think this is a terrific new benefit for our members”, said Rilla Murray, Vermont Executive Director. “Participating in EAPrefer can provide an excellent opportunity for our members to build their private practice or supplement their existing income, with a program tailored to fit their schedule.”

EAPrefer has made it easy for members to participate by prescreening and negotiating with select EAP network providers in Vermont to provide fair compensation. EAPrefer has also reduced much of the paperwork and administrative burden by creating an easy system for members to sign up and begin receiving referrals.
