Confidentiality Policy

Confidentiality is Fundamental

 

Confidentiality is a fundamental operating principle of WisdomNet.

​

Wisdom can flourish only within the context of free thought and sharing. The Wisdom Session, as a model for all our services, is designed to create an open, nonjudgmental opportunity for sharing any thoughts and feelings that arise.

​

To protect the freedom and safety of WisdomNet members, our staff is highly conscious to keep what is shared confidential.

​

Information Sharing Within WisdomNet Staff

To provide the highest possible service, WisdomNet staff may share member information with each other. This is only done in a way that is highly respectful and focused on improving service.

​

Information Sharing With Advisory Professionals

WisdomNet staff may at times consult with advising outside professionals, in order to support the quality of our services.

​

We are careful to only choose advisory professionals who are in alignment with WisdomNet principles, especially confidentiality.

​

Confidentiality Exceptions

We make every effort to keep member information confidential. There are, however, very rare situations which call for us to make confidentiality exceptions.

​

Court Orders

In very rare cases, there could be a court order requiring disclosure of member information.

​

Imminent Harm

Members expressing thoughts of harming self or others can almost always be handled while maintaining confidentiality.

​

In extremely rare cases of clear imminent threat of harm to or from a WisdomNet member, WisdomNet staff may need to notify mental health or law enforcement authorities.
