Without appropriate help or treatment for the problem, however, the symptoms frequently return. If this is true in your case, contact the FSAP for guidance. My employee has been on the telephone for many hours this week trying to deal with problems with her elderly mother, who resides out of state. Yes, the FSAP can help. As the population ages, more services are becoming available to help adult children find help for elderly parents.
Employees can use a lot of time and personal energy at work conducting long distance research.
The FSAP can steer your employee to elder care resources that can reduce the time required to hunt down appropriate and reputable services for an aging parent. So, one of the important benefits of the FSAP is a more available employee who has more peace of mind. In my experience, too many employees wait until their jobs are on the line before getting help for personal problems. Although it may appear that employees wait until the last minute to seek help for personal problems, the opposite is usually true. Many employees self-refer to deal with personal problems, even problems like drug addiction, and you never know it unless they tell you.
