Mandated Reporting. We are required by law to report threats of suicide, homicide or evidence of child/elder abuse or neglect. We may disclose your PHI to the extent necessary to avert a serious and imminent threat to your health or safety or the health or safety of others.

Mandated Reporting. There are some situations in which a therapist is legally obligated to take actions that he/she believes are necessary to attempt to protect others from harm, and he/she may be required to reveal some information about a client’s treatment. • If a therapist has knowledge or reasonably suspects that a child under 18 has been the victim of child abuse or neglect, the law requires that the therapist file a report with the appropriate governmental agency, usually Child Protective Services. A therapist also may make a report if he/she knows or reasonably suspects that mental suffering has been inflicted upon a child or that his/her emotional well being is endangered in any other way (other than physical or sexual abuse, or neglect). Once such a report is filed, the therapist may be required to provide additional information. • If a therapist observes or has knowledge of an incident that reasonably appears to be physical abuse, abandonment, abduction, isolation, financial abuse, or neglect of an elder or dependent adult, or if an elder or dependent adult credibly reports that he/she has experienced behavior including an act or omission constituting physical abuse, abandonment, abduction, isolation, financial abuse, or neglect, or reasonably suspects that abuse, the law requires that the therapist report to the appropriate government agency, usually Adult Protective Services. Once such a report is filed, the therapist may be required to provide additional information. • If a therapist has reasonable cause to believe that the client is in such mental or emotional condition as to be dangerous to him/her, the therapist may be obligated to take protective action, including seeking hospitalization or contacting family members or others who can help provide protection. If such a situation arises, your therapist will limit disclosures to what is necessary.
