Member Assistance Program

The New Jersey State Bar Association Member Assistance Program connects our members—and anyone else in their household—to trained, experienced mental health professionals and resources. NJSBA Members and individuals in their household are eligible for three in-person counseling sessions, per issue, and unlimited text, phone and email support. All communications are confidential.

The program is provided through industry leader Charles Nechtem Associates and provides 24/7 access to a mental health professional with at least seven years of experience. The professional will counsel callers and help them find resources. If needed, they will help people find an accessible clinician who is accepting patients, and every effort will be made to make clinical referrals to counselors who are covered by your medical insurance plan. If that is not possible, efforts will be made to connect people with a practitioner who can provide services on a sliding scale.

Members also have access to an extensive Wellness Library with 25,000 interactive resources to help resolve personal problems or improve your personal and professional lives.
