Employee Assistance Program

Thank you for visiting the Downstate Medical Center EAP Web site

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month at SUNY Downstate Medical Center

In support of the state wide effort to raise awareness of domestic violence, SUNY Downstate is participating in TURN THE WORKFORCE PURPLE event on October 14th. All DMC employees and students are asked to wear something purple to show their support for the victims of Domestic Violence. Everyone who wears purple will be invited to have their photo taken with other staff members, in front of the Atrium. This is a great opportunity to show solidarity and help to raise awareness of this "silent epidemic".
