[quote=Anonymous]A clarification for everyone concerned about therapists being mandated reporters and “keeping secrets.” Mandated reporters report to law enforcement and/or whatever the state agency is that protects child welfare, not parents. Beyond that, decisions regarding what to disclose to a parent when the client is a minor need to be HIPAA compliant and understood/agreed upon by clients in advance and should be developmentally appropriate in order to facilitate meaningful therapy. There is no obligation to tell parents about drug and alcohol use (just as there is no obligation for other types of health care providers to do so).[/quote]
