(SC State Law states that it is mandatory for me to report this to the Department of Children and Family Services), c) where you sign a release of information to have specific information shared and d) if you provide information that informs me that you are in danger of harming yourself or others e) information necessary for case supervision or consultation and f) or when required by law. If an emergency situation for which the client or their guardian feels immediate attention is necessary, please call the office to speak with me. If I am unable to return your call within 10 minutes, the client or guardian understands that they are strongly advised to contact community emergency services (911) or go to the nearest emergency room for those emergency services. Deirdre Haynes Counseling Services will follow up those emergency services with standard counseling and support to the client. E-mail, text messages, and social networking sites are not confidential. I will NOT discuss any counseling-related topics other than scheduling an appointment on the forms of media..
