Professional Disclosure Statements

Professional counselors are responsible for upholding ethical and legal standards. Professional disclosure statements clearly inform clients about credentials, education, billing issues, and limits of confidentiality, and include contact information for state licensing board to submit complaints.

Please post something to the discussion board related to the content covered this week. Do not create your post as a reply to the pinned post. Instead, use Yellowdigs Create option to create a new post. Here are some ideas to get you started:

  • Based on the 2014 and your state laws, what are the limits of confidentiality and in what circumstances are you deemed a mandated reporter in your state?
  • Discuss something that stood out to you this week. Maybe there was a topic you found confusing; ask a question to get clarification from your peers. Or if a topic in a reading or the media activity was especially interesting and caught your attention, describe how this information could be useful to you.
  • Locate web sites for clinical mental health counselors in your area. Search for their professional disclosure statements (sometimes called treatment contracts, or counselor-client contracts). How do they incorporate culture and diversity within their professional disclosure statements? If not addressed, what could they include about culture and diversity?
