Informed Consent

You have the right to keep your data, therapy, and medical records CONFIDENTIAL at WHJ Online.

We provide you with a GDPR & HIPPA compliant, secure, private, non-judgemental, and reliable environment.

World Health Industry Regulated Disclosure Agreement

1) Under legal conditions.

2) In case you are a threat to yourself, others or property.

3) In case you are in danger and/or are planning to commit suicide. Please note that planning to commit suicide is different from thinking about suicide (suicidal ideation). Discuss this with your therapist so they are better able to uphold the non-disclosure agreement. Some countries have legalised euthanasia so we can discuss your options if you are planning to commit suicide.

4) Upon discussion, records may be disclosed with parents of children under 18 years old.

Please be informed that your mental health professional is ethically and legally obliged to keep your records safe. Discuss openly with your mental health professional to explore different ways to improve your mental health.

Client Information Agreement

We send your details to the mental health professional who would be in charge of you. You can withdraw from your treatment plan at any given point in time or change your treatment plan/mental health professional. You will require a computer or smartphone with an active internet connection for your therapy. Additionally, for video consultation, you will need a camera & microphone, a comfortable and quiet place, and would be expected to be sober. Feel free to lie down or sit. Headphones are optional.

Let us know if you require HIPPA compliance and visit the virtual clinic. Your treatment plan is based on an initial assessment and subsequent therapy sessions.

Step 2: Read the Informed Consent. You agree to the terms and conditions by continuing to use WHJ Online and the services of its associates.

Step 3: Gather the courage, write, or talk about what is making you uncomfortable. It indeed takes a lot of strength to ask for help. It is free to chat with a professional, intern, or volunteer about your suffering.

Step 4: Discuss your presenting problem(s) and additional details you think are important for your mental health professional to know. Your verbal consent is important so that we know you are committed to yourself and then we can help you further. You can withdraw your consent at any time.

Step 5: Discuss the finances, commitments, and time required for the recommended sessions. You will be recommended weekly, biweekly, monthly and/or free chat-based sessions depending on your presenting problem(s).

Step 7: Get the link to your ONLINE session.

Step 8: Discuss your mental health and the treatment plan in detail with your therapist. Ask questions.

Step 9: Show up regularly for your sessions to prevent setbacks in your treatment and well-being. Subsequently, discuss your concerns about therapy with your therapist. Don’t hold yourself back and trust the process. We use a YOU-centered approach so tell your therapist what works and does not work for you.

Step 10: Make time for your internal research and give your feedback to your therapist. Last but not the least, take your challenges one step at a time.
