• If you present an imminent danger to harm yourself, I am required to contact the authorities or contact family members or seek hospitalization for you. 

• If you communicate an immediate threat of severe physical harm to an identifiable victim, I may be required to take protective actions. These actions may include notifying the potential victim to avert foreseeable dangers, contacting the police, or seeking hospitalization for you.

• If a child is at risk of being harmed or abused in any way (e.g., sexual or physical abuse, negligence), I must contact Child and Family Services and report all relevant information.

• If a court subpoenas your file's contents, I must release your records.
