1. INTRODUCTION

Dynamic Development Today is a division of Dynamic Health Today (“DHT”) and is a telemedicine / telehealth / Personal Development platform designed to act as an interface to connect the User and Health Practitioners who, specialise in mental health care and psychological care services. DHT is passionate about mental health care and wants to help the User get the support the User need.

DHT’s subscription services include inter alia: Online Counselling
Resources
Workshops and Webinars

Self-Therapy Toolkits

These subscription services may be reviewed, updated, added to and/or removed by DHT from time to time, meaning that the above list of subscription services may change. This list is not exhaustive and it may be varied from time to time to bring it in line with the current subscription and general services offered by DHT.

Where Health Practitioners are in doubt whether a Telehealth/Teletherapy consultation will be in the best interest of the client, the clients are advised to present themselves for a face-to-face consultation or to seek assistance at a health care facility closest to them to seek further professional medical advice, consultation, examination, diagnosis or treatment.

DHT cares about your mental health, and should you require emergency assistance or are a possible suicide risk, you can find a comprehensive list of emergency helplines here: https://dynamichealth.today/helplines/

1. 5.1.  Teletherapy sessions and issues discussed therein remain confidential between the therapist and the User.

2. 5.2.  The User, acknowledges that there are circumstances, (not including where legal exceptions exist and are mandated by law), where the therapist may be required to breach this confidentiality. In instances where confidential information is requested for release by a court of law for instance, the therapist will only do so after the client has obtained the necessary permissions from the User in writing where appropriate, necessary and possible.
3. 5.3.  In certain situations, mental health professionals are required by law to reveal information obtained during therapy to other persons or agencies without the User’s consent. In such situations, the therapist will not be required to inform the User of the therapist’s actions nor obtain a release form.
4. 5.4.  Exceptions to confidentiality are applicable in inter alia the following situations:

1. 5.4.1.  Cases of acknowledged or suspected abuse/neglect of children. If the therapist has knowledge of a child or suspect that a child under 18 has been the victim of child abuse or neglect, the law requires that the therapist file a report with the appropriate governmental agency. The therapist is also required to report it if the therapist knows or reasonably suspect that mental suffering has been inflicted upon a child or that his or her emotional well-being is endangered in any other way (other than physical or sexual abuse, or neglect). Once a report is filed, the therapist may be required to provide additional information.
2. 5.4.2.  Cases of acknowledged or suspected abuse/neglect of the elderly or dependent adult. If the therapist observes or has knowledge of an incident that reasonably appears to be physical abuse, abandonment, abduction, isolation, financial abuse or neglect of an elderly or dependent adult, the law requires that the therapist report it to the appropriate government agency. Once such a report is filed, the therapist may be required to provide additional information.
3. 5.4.3.  Cases of potential harm to self. If a client threatens to harm him- or herself the therapist is obligated to seek hospitalization for the client or to contact family members or others who can intervene, provide assistance, help or provide protection.
4. 5.4.4.  Cases of potential harm to others. If a client communicates a serious threat of physical violence against an identifiable victim, the therapist must take protective actions, including notifying the potential victim and contacting the police. The therapist may also seek hospitalization for the client, or contact others who can assist in protecting the victim.
5. 5.4.5.  The therapist may disclose confidential information in proceedings bought against the professional by a client in order to defend him or herself as a professional.
6. 5.4.6.  Disclosure may occur as mandated by the courts of law, for example, if courts subpoena the client files. If subpoenaed the therapist is required by law to appear as a witness in court in matters concerning the client, however, in such cases the psychologist will indicate they are appearing as an unwilling witness. If the User, is involved in court proceedings or may become involved in litigation, the User is urged to consult the User’s legal counsel prior to signing this agreement to determine whether a court would be likely to order the psychologist to disclose information.
