This means that a mental health professional that is seeing someone as a client in therapy, can only break confidentiality under the following extreme circumstances: We don’t disclose any information related to substance use, legal issues, involvement in sex work, past criminal activity, sexual assault, physical assault, what we talk about in session, or if you attend CAPS. We are mandated to protect information from your parents, family members, professors, departments, employers, immigration, friends or anyone inquiring about you. If UCSB Student Health is collaborating with your care, we may communicate about you with SHS staff (including sharing of medical/mental health records and information). All information disclosed within counseling sessions is confidential and may not be released to anyone other than health care providers at CAPS and Student Health Services (SHS) without your written permission except in certain situations described below. CAPS is a confidential service meaning mental health clinicians protect your privacy by not revealing what is talked about in sessions.
