Wayne office is located at 2100 Goshen Road (the old Franklin Building, which is now the Bowen Professional building).

Components of the Student Assistance Plan (SAP) include:

All students are eligible for two (2) pre-paid counseling sessions per school year.

To access this service, simply call 1-800-342-5653 and identify the student as an EACS student wanting to use his/her SAP program sessions.

Referrals can also be made by a school counselor after obtaining parent signature on a release of information form.

Sessions can be used for any type of emotional or behavioral problem:  Dealing with blended families, alcohol, tobacco and/or drug problems, divorce, peer pressure, eating disorders, bullying, adjustment disorders, etc.
