confidentiality
Our services are confidential, callers can choose to remain anonymous. The only situations where we cannot keep information confidential is if the person is under 16 years of age and has been abused or if a person calls our line saying they are going to kill themselves or harm someone else. In these situations we must inform the proper authorities.
