The Faculty and Employee Assistance Program (FEAP), a free, confidential resource for faculty, staff, and family members, helps address a wide variety of personal and work life issues. FEAP offers consultation, training, critical incident debriefings, workplace interventions, substance abuse education, and mediation services. Faculty can contact FEAP at (434) 243-2643. For mental health emergencies, a regional crisis line is available at (434) 230-9704, while 988 is a national service.

FEAP has been providing comprehensive, onsite employee assistance services to employees and their families since its inception in 1991. What began as a program for the University of Virginia in Charlottesville has expanded to include all of UVA plus many of the area’s employers as well. The program’s mission is to assist organizations to maximize employee productivity and to help employees identify and resolve personal concerns that may affect job performance. The program offers individualized, confidential assessments based on clinically sound standards, brief counseling, and appropriate community referrals as necessary. In addition, the program provides consultation to supervisors and managers to assist in addressing employee/team challenges.

Human Resources also offers the Hoo’s Well program. Created in partnership with the University’s health insurance provider, Aetna, this voluntary program is designed to help faculty members get healthy and stay healthy by improving their general fitness and reducing their risk for heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and other debilitating illnesses. Hoo’s Well includes programs to help individuals lose weight, improve their diet and nutrition, quit smoking, manage stress, and enhance their general health. Employees and spouses enrolled in the UVA Health Plan or UPG Anthem Health Plan are eligible to participate in Hoo’s Well.
