Colorado Mental Health Jurisprudence Practice Exam

What must be included in the mandatory disclosure about the confidentiality of client information during therapy sessions?

1. The information is legally confidential with some legal exceptions that will be identified if they arise

2. The information can be shared with family members

3. The information can be shared with any health professionals

4. The information will be posted online

The correct answer is: The information is legally confidential with some legal exceptions that will be identified if they arise

During therapy sessions, it is important for clients to know that their confidentiality will be respected and maintained. While it is true that there are some exceptions where confidentiality may need to be broken, it is crucial for clients to understand that this will only occur in specific and rare circumstances. Options B and C, where information can be shared with family members or health professionals, may seem appealing, but it is important for clients to know that their information will only be shared when necessary and with their consent. Option D, where information will be posted online, is incorrect as this would be a violation of the client's privacy and confidentiality. Therefore, the best and most accurate answer is A, as it provides the necessary information about confidentiality and the exceptions to this rule.
