Privacy & Confidentiality
Your services and conversations with The Friendship Center are confidential. That is a protection you have through a state law called advocate privilege. What you share with our advocates stays confidential unless you give us explicit permission to talk to someone outside of The Friendship Center.
There are a couple exceptions to your confidentiality:
-
We are mandatory reporters for child abuse and neglect, which includes exposure to domestic violence.
-
Advocate privilege no longer applies if someone else (a third party) is part of a conversation between you and a Friendship Center advocate because we cannot guarantee the confidentiality of the information that the third party has heard.
We want you to know the exceptions to advocate privilege so you can decide what you feel comfortable talking about. You are not obligated o provide any information that you don't feel comfortable sharing.
