My involvement with the Stopping the Violence Program is voluntary and confidential within the limits of the law. I understand that confidential services mean that a release of any information may only happen with my written consent and that the Stopping the Violence Counsellor may not legally or ethically discuss any details of my session either personally or professionally. The following situations are exceptions: if the client is a risk to herself or another person; if the client’s life is at risk; if a child is at risk; if a court order is issued for the counsellor’s records, or; for purposes of supervision, and for case consultation within Fernie Women’s Centre staff team.
