The Van Wagner Group
The Van Wagner Group has been bringing peace of mind to
the counseling field for over 15 years. The agency began services in 1985 by
partnering with N.A.A.D.A.C., the National Association of Addiction
Professionals to provide low cost, comprehensive coverage to their member
drug and alcohol counselors.
The Agency has grown over the years by
gaining the sponsorships or endorsements of other national programs such as
E.A.P.A., The Employee Assistance Professionals Association, and N.C.A.D.D., the
National Council of Alcoholism and Drug Dependency. Programs were later added to
provide coverage for mental health counselors, psychologists, and social service
facilities, both outpatient and residential.
The Van Wagner Group writes
coverage through four of the leading carriers of Professional Liabilty, all of
which are rated "A" or higher by A.M. Best and Company.
| Thomas Van Wagner, president of the Van Wagner
Group, has strong ties to the addictions field. He has been in recovery since
1968 and is an advocate to the field in many ways. He was a founder of the
Friends of Long Island Council on Alcoholism; he has also served as president of
the New York State Council on Alcoholism and was a board member of the National
Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence. He continues to organize and
participate in many fund raising activities for the field. Tom's insurance
background began almost fifty years ago in lower Manhattan. He is proud that he
was able to combine his vocation and avocation into an agency that helps people
who are in the business of helping others. To read Tom's personal story of
