-Treatment Solutions Network (TSN) and Capital Employee Assistance Program (EAP) proudly announce their collective commitment to the TSN P.O.W.E.R. Initiative and the ultimate care and protection it will provide for Public Safety Officers everywhere.
Created by Treatment Solutions Network and several handpicked Public O...fficers, the P.O.W.E.R. Initiative stands for Public Officers, Wellness, Employment and Recovery. This initiative was born from a desire to eliminate the frustration associated with the current Public Officer recovery process and the will to provide a clearer path to health for all those affected by addiction. This initiative is a turnkey substance abuse program for Public Safety Officers whose jobs demand valor and strength until addiction destroys everything. The P.O.W.E.R. Initiative is built from the experience of Public Safety Officers themselves, not academics, and therefore incorporates the specific steps necessary to rebuild a hero.
On the evening of October 27th at 5:00 pm, Treatment Solutions Network and Capital Employee Assistance Program (EAP) will be hosting a special night devoted to the P.O.W.E.R. Initiative and all those it affects. From 5:00 – 7:00 PM at the Capital EAP Building (650 Warren Street, Albany, NY 12208), the authors of the P.O.W.E.R. Initiative and key Capital EAP executives will be on hand to answer questions and discuss exactly how this initiative will impact Public Officers and all those who depend on them. The public and media are encouraged to attend.
For all event inquiries or to RSVP, please contact Kevin O’Brien at kobrien@capitaleap.org or call 518-465-3813. Read More
