Privacy and Security Compliance
Client Privacy
The client can, at any point in the coaching session, declare his/her preference not to discuss a specific issue, by simply stating that they would rather not discuss this issue. Additionally, the client can opt to not participate in an exercise suggested by the coach. The coach agrees to respect this boundary and will not attempt to forward the conversation further along those lines.
Mediation (Conflict Resolution)
When HWH coaches work with two or more people, they work as mediators. Mediation is the attempt to help parties in a disagreement to hear one another, to minimize the harm that can come from disagreement (e.g. hostility or defensiveness) to maximize any area of agreement, and to find a way of preventing the areas of disagreement from interfering with the process of seeking a compromise or mutually agreed outcome. Effective mediation requires a balance of power and a level of willingness to find a way forward together that all parties can live with. If an HWH coach has reason to believe that one or both of the parties is not engaging in the process in good faith, the mediation will be terminated without refund. For this reason, before purchasing a prepaid package or paying a retainer, mediation clients are advised to book a consultation with Dr. Leit and realistically assess the viability of mediation as opposed to court proceedings. While court hearings are public, mediation remains strictly confidential. No one but the parties to the dispute and the mediator or mediators know what happened. Confidentiality in mediation has such importance that in most cases the legal system cannot force a mediator to testify in court as to the content or progress of mediation. Many mediators destroy their notes taken during a mediation once that mediation has finished. The only exceptions to such strict confidentiality usually involve child abuse or actual or threatened criminal acts, or indications that the client is a danger to him/herself and/or others.

Confidentiality, Research, and Reporting
Coaching session records are confidential. Coaches may share some broad details of sessions only in consultation with Dr. Leit if they feel her expertise may be helpful in providing clients with the most effective support. Coaches do not keep in-depth session notes. Any cursory notes and opinions will only be released if concerns arise about unethical behavior on the part of the coach, or strong evidence that a client might be of harm to herself or someone else (by law HWH coaches and representatives have to report mentions of child abuse or suicidal or homicidal intent).
In instances where another party (such as a parent or employer), pays for coaching sessions, coaches and HWH adhere to a strict confidentiality policy to protect HWH primary clients (those undergoing coaching). Unless the primary client signs a waiver form giving permission to talk to specified other parties, HWH coaching session records are confidential. If clients wish for their coach to speak to someone outside coaching interactions, then clients need to give written permission (original letter, fax or email) to do so. Exceptions to confidentiality relate to circumstances such as indications of intent to seriously harm themselves or someone else, plans to commit serious criminal acts, or child abuse. Otherwise, all client information is confidential.
Appointment Scheduling Policy
Booking, changing, and canceling appointments is a client responsibility and can be done by the client via the online scheduling system (click the Book Now button on the happywholehuman.com and drlisaleit.com site). After one last-minute cancellation, if clients either do not answer the call for a scheduled session (no show) or need to cancel within 24 hours of the scheduled session and there is not another paying client to fill the slot, they will be charged for the session in full.
HAPPY WHOLE HUMAN® Self-Assessment
