Hello All,
I am part of a panel (2 attorneys, a financial neutral and me, the
MHP) presenting at CP-CAL's annual forum on the topic of
confidentiality and privilege in collaborative practice.
I would love to hear how others analyze this issue in their own
jurisdictions/practice groups or whether any one is aware of any
legal cases that speak to this issue.
Coaching is currently an unregulated profession in California and
while we need to be licensed MHP's (pursuant to the IACP ethical
guidelines)to practice as a coach in the collaborative setting, we
may not have the protection of the privilege statute should we be
called to testify in a subsequent litigation when a collaborative
case falls out of collaboration!
Thank you in advance for any insight!
Warmly,
Debbie
