Faculty & Staff Assistance Program (FSAP) continues to increase its employee health and well-being resources. FSAP is adding more counselors and making it easier for faculty and staff to get care. Earlier this year, Chancellor Justin Schwartz announced new investments in employee well-being, highlighting the university’s focus on creating a caring culture and ensuring employees have the support they need to succeed at work and in their personal lives.

A key enhancement to FSAP is the expansion of its mental health benefits. Employees can now receive up to 10 confidential counseling sessions each year (previously 7 sessions per year) at no cost to employees. FSAP has additionally grown and added two new providers. Together, these changes make it easier for employees to access mental health care and get ongoing support for personal, family, or work-related hardships.

More ways to get support

With the expanded session allotment and growing counseling team, employees can access more comprehensive support through FSAP’s confidential counseling services. Eligible employees may receive individual, couple or family counseling services (ages 14 and older) free of charge.

FSAP counseling is offered both in person and online, so you can choose what works best for your schedule. Whether you are dealing with stress and anxiety, caregiving for ageing parents, issues in relationships, major life events, or other personal or professional challenges, FSAP is here to help. Request an appointment, and you will be connected with a counselor within two business days. 

Get to know our new counselors

To meet the growing need for services, FSAP has welcomed two new counselors: Isaiah Hill, MA, LPCC, and Ashley Warlick, MA, LPCC. 

Isaiah brings experience in mindfulness, trauma-informed care and therapeutic approaches focused on present-moment awareness. He works with individuals navigating a variety of challenges and is passionate about supporting people from diverse backgrounds through growth and healing. 

Ashley has more than 22 years of experience as a teacher and educational leader. She is trained as a Buddhist Contemplative Psychotherapist and has experience in life transitions, relationship challenges and supporting neurodivergent individuals and families.  

Ongoing commitment to employee health and well-being

These advancements build on the university’s broader commitment to making ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Æƽâ°æÏÂÔØ an employer of choice and investing in people to support their psychological well-being. Whether you are navigating stress, life transitions or other personal challenges, the Faculty & Staff Assistance Program provides support for faculty and staff as they navigate life’s ups and downs and embrace moments of joy and gratitude.
