F – 2. Professional responsibility ASAP professionals help protect military and civilian leadership and the communities they serve against unethical practices by an individual or organization engaged in drug and alcohol education programs, EAPs, rehabilitation, or consultation activities. When an ASAP professional knows of an apparent ethical violation by another ASAP professional, it becomes their ethical responsibility to attempt to resolve the matter by bringing that alleged unethical behavior to the other member’s attention. If a resolution of ethical matters between members is not achieved, further informal consultation with colleagues and/or civilian personnel is recommended prior to any formalized IG general or other government review of a member’s complaint.
