Assessment and Referral

Return-to-work counseling and support

The FSAP provides professional counseling and referral services to the Georgetown University community of faculty and staff members and their families. The FSAP deals with a variety of work, family, and personal issues, including health, emotional stress, grief, relationship violence, work-related stress, relationship and family problems, parenting and child care, psychiatric problems, aging relatives, substance abuse, legal problems, and financial concerns. Career development services are also provided for staff and faculty members.

Counseling services include individual, family, or group sessions with the FSAP counselor, assessment, access to FSAP resources, and crisis intervention. The FSAP counselor can also provide management consultations, worksite interventions (for substance abuse and other issues), and referrals to Georgetown and community resources. Those referrals may be to professionals (such as lawyers or therapists), support groups, or appropriate organizations and advocacy groups.

The FSAP also provides assistance in locating child and elder care. Packets of information, location assistance programs, and other resources are available from our office.

The Referral Process

Employees may refer themselves to the FSAP or may be referred by a supervisor. In the case of self-referral, the employee is under no obligation to report her or his contact with the FSAP. Sessions are available during the lunch hour and in the late afternoon or early evening.

A supervisor should consider making an FSAP referral when an employee comes to him or her for help with a personal, professional, or performance problem, or in any case of possible substance abuse. All referrals are optional, except in some cases regarding substance use in the workplace. In this case, refusal to comply with the FSAP could lead to termination.

The FSAP will notify the supervisor that the employee kept her or his appointment, but the nature of the problem will not be discussed.

Supervisors who wish to refer employees to the program should contact the FSAP office before doing so to discuss with the counselor issues of confidentiality and the referral process. The FSAP sponsors frequent Supervisory Training sessions, which provide a detailed explanation of FSAP services, the referral process, and warning signs that an employee may need help.

It is important to remember in referring employees to the FSAP that the supervisor should never ask an employee to share confidential information about her- or himself. The best way to help an employee is to offer her or him options for professional guidance.
