Protection: Anything you share regarding the facts of your situation, goals, or concerns will not be disclosed to any third party.
No Testimony: Mediators cannot be called to testify about your session in court.
Legal Exceptions: The only exceptions to confidentiality are mandated by law, such as a direct threat of serious harm to self or others, or disclosures related to child or elder abuse. These rules will be reviewed at the start of any formal engagement.
