WPCS is dedicated to maintaining the privacy of all our clients. As a general rule, no  one else will learn what you say to us or your counselor without your express written consent. There are certain exceptions:

A. Potential Harm. If your counselor determines that you pose a danger to yourself or others, he or she may provide information about you to medical personnel, the police, a potential victim, or significant family members.

B. Abuse or neglect. Most states require that counselors report any suspected abuse or neglect of a child,  or an elderly or disabled person to the appropriate authorities. The specific legal requirement will depend on the state in which you are being seen for counseling.

C. Court cases. In certain limited instances counselors may reveal information learned in sessions if ordered to testify in court or when your records are under subpoena.

D. Supervision/case conference. To ensure the highest level of care, many of our counselors regularly meet with a supervisor as well as discuss cases in clinical case conference with colleagues at WPCS
