Do YHSSA staff report what is heard to child protection workers?
All discussions with our therapists, nurses, physicians and all other staff are confidential and will not be shared without your prior knowledge and consent. There are limits of confidentiality which have been dictated by law, however. These limits state that a therapist cannot keep information about self harm, harm to others, or information about child abuse and neglect confidential. Also, if your file is subpoenaed for legal purposes, the YHSSA is required to release your file.
