Confidentiality

All contacts with a CCCF counselor are covered by and conform to the Florida State Department of Health Board of Clinical Social Work, Marriage and Family and Mental Health Counseling regulations and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act Privacy Act of 1996.

This means that any information disclosed during your contact with Catholic Charities of Central Florida Counseling Services will be kept strictly confidential as required by this Act, and by applicable ethical standards. Your written permission is required before any information about your contact with Catholic Charities of Central Florida Counseling Services is released to anyone outside the agency. This means if your spouse, child, parent, friend, or professor, etc., calls us, we cannot even acknowledge that we know of you. It also means if you want us to release information to someone else, we cannot do so until you give us permission in writing.

According to the Act, however, there are three situations when we are required to release information:

If a minor child is at risk of being abused or neglected, a counselor would be required to report that information to the appropriate agency to assure the safety of the child.
If you present an imminent risk of serious injury to yourself. In this case, the counselor would take action to assure your safety, releasing only the information needed to do this.
If you threaten serious harm to another person. Again, we would have to take action to protect the other person, releasing only the information necessary to assure the person's safety.
In all cases, whenever confidential information is going to be released, our professional staff will always notify the client that such action is being taken.
