If a referral to a community resource is necessary, the FSEAP staff will refer you to the most appropriate resource available.


Benefits of using FSEAP

Cost-effective

Best Care services are provided by UNO and available to you at no cost. The program provides five (5) counseling sessions for you and your eligible dependent family members. Some situations may require the use of ongoing or specialized support.

In this case, your Best Care counselor will work with you to find the most appropriate and cost-effective resource. Any fees related to using that resource then become your responsibility.

Convenient service times available

Day, evening, and weekend appointments are available to meet the needs of your busy schedule. Best Care counselors provide assistance over the phone, online via a secure website, and in-person at a convenient location near your worksite or home.

Crisis and emergency services

Crisis and emergency services are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Crisis Text Line is free, 24/7 support for those in crisis. Text 741741 from anywhere in the US to text with a trained Crisis Counselor. Crisis Text Line trains volunteers to support people in crisis. With over 100 million messages processed to date, we’re growing quickly, but so is the need.

Best Care EAP provides 24-hour assistance by professional counselors each day of the year.

If you need to talk to someone immediately, you can call 800.801.4182 or 402.354.8000.
