Survivor Confidentiality & Privacy: Releases & Waivers Teleconference

When and how survivors may release their own personal information requires knowledge of the potential legal, ethical, and practical risks. Recent changes in U.S. federal and state law and the rise of interest in tracking survivors’ use of services has created challenges for programs and advocates who are trying to help survivors manage their confidential information.

This call will cover the following issues and more:

• When releases are required and where they are not appropriate or valid.
• When and how releases can be helpful and how they can be harmful.
• What language or phrases are legally required in order for a release to be effective.
• Releases for individuals with court-appointed guardians and other complex cases.
