Confidentiality

Confidentiality is regulated by state and federal laws and UFSAP protects the privacy of your contact with our office. Except in situations presenting the threat of violence or harm to yourself or another person, any contact you have with UFSAP and any information you share is shared with no one without your written permission. Even your initial contact with our office is private.

Without your request or permission, UFSAP will not disclose the fact that you have consulted with us, the dates of your visits, or the content of our discussions. Even if your manager recommended your visit, we will not disclose any information without your authorization, except in the strictly defined situations described above.

Your EAP files are not part of your human resources personnel file. Use of UFSAP services will not jeopardize your job or your chance for promotion.

Participation in UFSAP counseling is voluntary. Supervisors may recommend our services as part of resolving a personal or work related problem but the decision is that of the employee.
