Privacy Policy
- Jelani Educational services must follow guidelines from Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). HIPAA is a national standard that protects sensitive patient health information from being disclosed without the patient’s consent or knowledge.
- Via the Privacy Rule, the main goal is to: Ensure that individuals’ health information is properly protected while allowing the flow of health information needed to provide and promote high-quality health care and to protect the public’s health and well-being.
- FERPA is a federal law enacted in 1974 that protects the privacy of student education records. The Act serves two primary purposes: 1. Gives parents or eligible students more control of their educational records 2. Prohibits educational institutions from disclosing “personally identifiable information in education records“ without written consent
- Psychologists may disclose private information without consent in order to protect the patient or the public from serious harm — if, for example, a client discusses plans to attempt suicide or harm another person.
- Psychologists are required to report ongoing domestic violence, abuse or neglect of children, the elderly or people with disabilities. (However, if an adult discloses that he or she was abused as a child, the psychologist typically isn't bound to report that abuse, unless there are other children continuing to be abused.)
- Psychologists may release information if they receive a court order. That might happen if a person's mental health came into question during legal proceedings.
