Confidentiality Policy
There may be circumstances under which the Center may disclose confidential information without the consent of a client:
If a client is incompetent and a legal guardian has been appointed for the client, the guardian has the right to consent to disclose.
If a situation involves a life-threatening emergency.
A disclosure of suspected child abuse made to FJC staff or volunteer must be reported as mandated by law.
The confidential client relationship does not protect a staff member from the responsibility to report the intent to commit a crime.
It is the policy of the Family Justice Center to hold confidential all communications, observations and information made by, between or about clients. This includes all client, service, and administrative records, including any and all logs and records resulting from telephone contacts. Communications are confidential whether made by adults or children, and whether to or between staff, volunteers or board members of this organization.
All clients, staff, contractors, volunteers and board members must sign a written agreement to maintain confidentiality. Violation of this policy will be considered grounds for terminating services or relationship with the program.
All services are FREE, CONFIDENTIAL, AND OPTIONAL!
Services are available by Appointment or by Walk-in.
