When you seek help, the EAP counselor will not contact anyone at your employment without your written permission, and then only in accordance with applicable state and federal laws that govern both the employer and employee. Details about why you are seeing a counselor or what you are discussing will not be revealed without your written permission.
Use of the EAP will not jeopardize your job or chance for promotion. Call us for a free consultation with a licensed professional.
