Privacy in Counseling Sessions
Information you provide to counselors will be kept confidential, except to meet legal obligations or to prevent harm to self or others. Legal obligations include requirements of law and DoD or military regulations. Harm to self or others includes suicidal thought or intent, a desire to harm oneself, domestic violence, child abuse or neglect, violence against any person, and any present or future illegal activity. All counseling adheres to the same informed consent, confidentiality, privacy, and reportable-event protocols. A family member may seek counseling without the knowledge or consent of other family members.
