Is it okay to answer if the team leader asks about whether I am using employee EAP counseling?

Hello. I am in charge of operating the EAP counseling program in the HR team.

Recently, a team leader asked if I could confirm whether a team member had applied for EAP counseling, expressing concern about the employee's condition.

I understand your intention to look after your staff, but I am cautious in my response because whether or not a consultation is used can be sensitive information.

I understand that the details of the consultation should obviously not be shared, but I am wondering if I should also not tell the team leader whether or not I applied for a consultation.

In this case, how should the HR team safely inform the team leader?

When I am concerned about an employee's condition, would it be sufficient to respond by simply guiding them to meetings or support methods available to the manager?
