SEVEN EXCEPTIONS to PRIVACY

Exception #1 – Texas law requires our staff to report to the appropriate government agency any suspected physical, sexual, or emotional abuse or neglect.

Exception # – If we learn that someone with whom we are working has a specific intent to bring harm to him/herself, we reserve the right to inform other family members and/or make appropriate referrals if necessary.

Exception #3 – If we have reason to be concerned about the drug and/or alcohol use or abuse by a child or teen, we reserve the right to inform the parent.

Exception # – If information is ordered by the court, including a subpoena, we will attempt to contact you about the order. If you oppose the release, the court may nevertheless require compliance with the order.

Exception #5 – If we learn that someone participating in the program might commit a violent act, we may take steps to protect the intended victim against such danger or inform police, or both.

Exception #6 – The rights and exceptions to privacy apply to information disclosed in support groups. All group members are encouraged to keep such information confidential, but Kids in Divorce cannot guarantee they will do so.

Exception #7 – At times, Kids in Divorce uses case examples of children or teens and their families in publishing articles, conducting professional training, community education, and in fund raising efforts. We may anonymously refer to your situation in those circumstances. Your child, teen or family’s complete name will never be used without your specific written approval.
