Under Colorado Mental Health Jurisprudence, when can a licensee, registrant, or certificate holder disclose confidential communications without the client's consent?

When a client or their representatives file a suit or complaint against the professional
When a client informs a third party of their treatment
When the client fails to pay the professional
When the client requests the professional to do so in writing

The correct answer is: When a client or their representatives file a suit or complaint against the professional

A licensee, registrant, or certificate holder can only disclose confidential communications without the client's consent when a client or their representatives file a suit or complaint against the professional. This is because in such situations, confidentiality may be waived in order to defend the professional against any allegations made by the client. The other options, such as when a client informs a third party of their treatment, when the client fails to pay the professional, or when the client requests the professional to do so in writing, do not provide justifiable reasons to disclose confidential communications without the client's consent.
