Caring for others—whether as a parent, step-parent, disability caregiver, or elder caregiver—is both meaningful and demanding. Each caregiving role comes with unique challenges, from balancing responsibilities to navigating emotional and logistical complexities. FEAP provides confidential support, resources, and guidance for all types of caregivers, helping you manage stress, build resilience, and access the tools needed to care for both yourself and your loved ones.

Raising a child is one of life’s most rewarding experiences, but it also comes with challenges. Every caregiver benefits from understanding, guidance, and support as they navigate the ever-changing journey of parenting. FEAP provides confidential, in-person consultations for parents and step-parents looking to grow in their roles. Upon request, we also offer educational seminars on parenting topics specific to children and teens. Our services are designed to offer information, tools, and support to help parents manage the daily complexities of raising children.
Does FEAP See Children?
FEAP does not provide direct counseling to children. However, we offer support and guidance to parents regarding their child’s emotional or behavioral health and can connect caregivers with appropriate community resources.
Older Adolescents (16+): On a case-by-case basis, FEAP may provide brief therapeutic support if deemed beneficial in consultation with the parent(s). Confidentiality guidelines will be discussed with both the adolescent and their parents.
Adult Children (18+): FEAP services are available to employees' adult children. As legally independent individuals, their confidentiality is protected, and parental involvement is at their discretion. A Release of Information is required for parents to receive updates unless mandated by law.
Positive Discipline
We all want our children to thrive, and discipline plays a key role in shaping their development. While many resources offer parenting advice, each caregiver must make daily decisions about what approach works best for their child.
FEAP offers educational seminars on age-appropriate discipline to help parents clarify their child’s needs, establish effective parenting strategies, and connect with additional resources if needed.
For confidential parenting support or to request a seminar, contact FEAP at 434.243.2643.
