How does confidentiality work?

Other than your provider, nobody has the right to information about your meetings, and attending meetings does not have to be disclosed to anyone, keeping your journey private and safe. If you or someone else wants access to your treatment or records, you will have to sign a release of information form first, which your provider will give and help you fill out. 

It is important to note, however, that there are few instances in which your provider will be legally obligated to break this confidentiality. These are most commonly done when you show signs of: 

• Imminent danger to yourself or others
• Child abuse or the abuse of a vulnerable adult (disabled, mental health disorders, etc.)
• Records released by court order
• • Once your information is ordered, your provider will continue to do what they can to uphold your confidentiality by negotiating with the court. Therefore, the extent to which records are released may vary for each case. In these situations, you will typically know before treatment if a court order may be issued (e.g. child custody case). 

Although it may be daunting to share sensitive information with your provider, they are certified to help you in the best way possible, safeguarding your private thoughts and feelings with care.
