privacy policy
In the event your provider is concerned for your safety, we will make every effort to enlist your cooperation in ensuring your safety. If you are uncooperative or your provider feels as though you are not in an appropriate frame of mind to cooperate, we will take further measures without your consent or permission that are provided by law in order to ensure your safety. This will include disclosing confidential and otherwise protected information to emergency services and/or providers.
Information shared throughout your treatment is confidential. This means that your provider does not share your information with anyone except those they are legally or ethically bound to do so. Your provider is required to comply with state and federal statutes concerning mandated reporting. Those circumstances are as follows:
Your provider is required to report suspicion of child abuse, neglect, or abandonment.
Your provider is required to report suspicion of elder/vulnerable adult abuse, neglect, or exploitation.
Your provider will share important and relevant information to protect you from imminent or immediate physical threat to yourself.
Your provider will share important and relevant information to protect a person to whom you appear to be an imminent and/or immediate physical threat.
Your provider may be required by Court Order to disclose treatment information.
Your provider is required to report a contagious, life threatening disease to identifiable third parties when clients disclose they have a disease commonly known to be both communicable and life threatening. Prior to making a disclosure, your provider will assess the intent of you, the client, to inform the third parties about their disease or to engage in any behaviors that may be harmful to an identifiable third party. The diagnosis will also be confirmed with a medical provider.
