7. How does confidentiality work? Your employer does NOT know who attends counseling. It is against the law for us to tell them without a release of information signed by you. The counselor may not tell ANYONE what you talk about unless you give permission. There are a few exceptions to this rule suicidal, homicidal, abuse, etc. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Penn Foundation Employee Assistance Program | 520 Washington Avenue - Sellersville, PA 18960 | 215.257.6556 or 800.616.9248 | www.pfeap.org
