Policies
Confidentiality
Our staff and volunteers respect the privacy of our participants. Cancer Support Community San Gabriel Valley (CSC) adheres to professional, legal, and ethical standards of confidentiality established by professional organizations and state law. Legal and ethical exceptions to confidentiality include: a clear or present danger to harm oneself or another, knowledge of the abuse or neglect of a minor child, elder or dependent/incapacitated adult, or responses to a court subpoena or as otherwise required by law.
CSC asks that our participants respect each other’s privacy and do not disclose the identity of others who participate at CSC, or what is personally shared in a CSC program. However, we are not able to ensure confidentiality of all participants, as we would have no way to enforce it.
