    How confidential is the program?

  • Your statements and any records, referrals, diagnosis or treatment are maintained confidentially by EAP
  • No information about you will be released without your written consent unless:
  • you tell us that you intend to hurt yourself or another; or
  • you have damaged or intend to damage school property; or
  • you confess to or are observed abusing a child.

    In these situations (and only in these situations), state and/or federal law requires us to file certain reports.

    What is the purpose of confidentiality?

  • If you are to receive accurate information, you must have the confidence to be open and honest.
  • EAP personnel recognize that honesty demands respect.

    Finding solutions through counseling is the first step toward reaching your goals.
    EAP is here to help.
