When is confidentiality breached in a CCAR context?

Confidentiality is the default in recovery coaching because it creates a safe space for clients to share openly. It is breached only in a few clearly defined situations: when the law requires disclosure (mandated reporting or court orders), to prevent serious harm to the client or to others (duty to warn or protect in imminent danger situations), or when the client explicitly consents to share information (for example, releasing details to a treating professional or a family member). Outside these circumstances, information stays protected. So marketing without consent or responding to mild distress would not justify breaking confidentiality.
