Confidentiality is Key
Your employee assistance program is strictly confidential. Confidentiality laws protect the identity of anyone who uses EAC's services. The confidentiality protections have rare exceptions that permit disclosure in emergencies when a person's life is threatened or the abuse of a child or elderly person exists.
It's True
Your employer fully endorses EAC's employee assistance program and encourages employees at every level of the organization to take advantage of its services.
Confidentiality is an essential component of your employee assistance program.
A signed Authorization for Release of Information is required before EAC can disclose to someone that you have used your employee assistance program. A release does not provide blanket permission for EAC to release information; only specific information you designate to a specific person can be released.
