The records kept at the EAP do not become part of your personnel file or hospital medical record.  Except as authorized by you in writing, EAP staff will keep your EAP records and personal information confidential unless disclosure is specifically indicated under applicable law or professional ethics, for example to protect your life or well being, or the life of another person, such as where there is a suspicion of child abuse/neglect, elder abuse/neglect, or abuse or neglect of a disabled person.
