MANDATORY REPORTING

Personal Therapy Services™ will not knowingly disclose the content of the interactions between our members and Counselors. However, Mandatory reporting consists of times when the confidentiality agreement between client and Therapist is no longer valid for specific information, and the therapist is required by law to disclose information to an appropriate entity. There are also times in which a Therapist is obligated to take reasonable preventive measures where client safety is concerned, and breaking confidentiality is permitted.

The rules:

1. Disclosure of intent to commit suicide, a plan, and the means to carry out said plan.
2. Disclosure of intent to kill or seriously injure another person, with a plan, and the means to carry out the plan.
3. Disclosure of child abuse or neglect. A child is anyone under the age of 18.
4. Disclosure of the abuse or neglect of an elderly person. An elderly person is anyone over the age of 65.
5. Disclosure of the abuse or neglect of a dependent adult. A dependent adult is anyone 18 or older who cannot for some reason take care of him or herself. This could be due to a developmental disability, a physical handicap, severe mental illness, or any other disability that makes independence impossible.
6. Section 215 of the Patriot Act of 2001- Electronic monitoring

Other instances in which client right to confidentiality is waived:

• A court order
• An order from a state board, commission, or administrative agency
• A search warrant naming the therapist as the subject
• A coroner’s request for information in the course of an investigation for the purposes of identifying a decedent or next of kin, or investigating a death that may involve public health concerns.
• Billing insurance
• A client or client representative signs a written authorization
• Probation office if client agreed to court-ordered therapy
• Disclosures to parents of minor child – if under 12 years of age
• Disclosures to other mental health providers in order to prevent harm to the client

Sex between minors and mandatory reporting:

Nonconsensual sex with a minor is always reported.

Cutting and mandatory reporting:

• Self-injury in and of itself is not a mandated report. Most self-injury is not committed with the intent to commit suicide. If an assessment is made and the intent is to commit suicide by cutting, this would be a mandated report if the client had a plan and access to the means.

Using drugs and mandatory reporting:

Important information for parents and caregivers:

• If your child is 12 or older, they hold their own rights to confidentiality. Without their written consent, the therapist, by law, cannot share information with you. If there is a safety issue at hand (consensual sex, drug use, or self-injury), the therapist will do their best to help your child share this information with you themselves.
