When you bring your child to the Child Center, protecting their privacy is a top priority. Understanding how personal information is secured can provide peace of mind during a challenging time.

The Center collects only essential information needed for your child's care: 


  • • Basic identification details (names, addresses, school) 
  • • Health information and psychological assessments 
  • • Data from interviews and evaluations 

How is Information Protected? 


The Child Center implements robust security measures: 


  • • Password-protected electronic systems 
  • • Restricted file access (only case managers have full access) 
  • • Secure storage of any physical documents in locked cabinets 
  • • Encrypted file sharing with separate password communication 
  • • Staff training on confidentiality protocols 

Your Privacy Rights 


You and your child have important rights regarding personal information: 


  • • Information is collected only when necessary for care 
  • • Your private information is not shared without permission 
  • • During program evaluations, confidentiality is maintained 
  • • If legally required to share information, only the minimum necessary is disclosed 

These protections ensure that your family's sensitive information remains confidential throughout your experience at the Child Center, allowing you to focus on healing and recovery.
