Tanner PhD (C), RSW, BA, BSW, MSW, Dip Soc Adm Counselling & Psychotherapy Milton 905-854-0801 www.etasolutions.com Q: I know that counselors take notes during psychotherapy sessions. What happens to those files when the counselling is done? A: The answer to your question is both simple and complex and depends on a number of factors: 1. It depends on where the counsellor practices. In Canada, this varies as to province. 2. It will depend on the professional designation of the counsellor. As a social worker I can tell you about my obligations. Others who provide counselling are from other professions--each one has its own rules. Still others are not legislated as a professional and thus the rules do not apply to them. 3. It depends on the age of the client. The rules are different if the client is a child as opposed to an adult. 4. Lastly, it will depend on the capacity under which the counselling was provided--if the therapist's agency is one that has policies that require a longer storage period; if the file may be required in the future for a purpose such as court or other legal defense; or if the therapist has no professional obligations. Looking at each of these individually, I can only speak to my own obligations and so I will provide the answers for a Registered Social Worker, in the province of Ontario. The rules across Canada are similar but the specifics depend on the province. In Ontario the answer to this question is regulated by the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. Any one who is a member of this professional College is a registered social worker and must follow the regulations. The Ontario College requires all members to store and maintain all client records in a secure, locked facility for a minimum of at least seven years from the date of the last entry or, if the client was less than eighteen years of age at the date of the last entry, at least seven years from the day the client became or would have become eighteen. Each profession is regulated by its own college and has its own regulations. There is one catch to this though. If the therapist does not belong to a professional college, whether because they are not qualified or because they chose to not join so that they do not have to follow professional standards and regulations, the unregulated individual has no obligations regarding records. In this situation, the client cannot be guaranteed that their file has being safely stored or disposed of. Songwriter and Source of the Song host Bruce Madole has announced the line-up of special guest songwriters-- Coco Love Alcorn, Lis Soderberg, and Liam Titcomb-- who will be joining Madole for Source of the Song 23, which takes place on Saturday April 13, from 2-5 p.m. in Glen Williams Town Hall. "Any one of these three, each of them, is a headliner in their own right," says Madole. "To have all three joining me in one show, that's incredible. But this is a part of the magic of song- writing, the generosity of creative souls willing to share their original songs with a listening audience, in such an intimate setting." Coco Love Alcorn is a second- generation songwriter and performer, virtually born to her creativity, a writ- er and singer of what has been called Joyful Soul-- a sparkling alloy of jazz, soul and contemporary folk. With six albums (and two electronica projects) already to her credit, Alcorn has toured with such artists as Ani DiFranco, Bur- ton Cummings, 54.40, Chantal Krevi- azuk, Jesse Cook, Steve Poltz, Matt Andersen, Chin Injeti (Bass is Base), and Loudon Wainright III. In addition to multiple recordings licensed for TV, she has also launched a fashion brand (with her husband). Songwriter and guitarist Lis Soder- berg has garnered an array of awards and nomina- tions, fi lm, TV and radio cred- its in a diverse career that has seen her on sympho- ny and rock stages per- forming for thousands, as well as more intimate spaces. Having performed and recorded with such art- ists as Blair Packham, Rik Emmett, Kevin Breit, Gwen Swick, Lisa Dal Bello, Law- rence Gowan, Roger Hodg- son, and Alan Frew, Soderberg was also quietly assembling her acclaimed CD, Refuge. Liam Titcomb, a singer/song- writer, multi-instrumentalist, and ac- tor, has been writing and performing songs since early childhood. The son of Canadian folk legend Brent Titcomb, Titcomb started performing with his Dad at age fi ve, and had started a solo performing career when he was just 12. Titcomb has released three CDs, the fi rst in 2005 (with a major label record deal), in addition to acting and extensive touring, sometimes as a vol- unteer (over 100 performances in a two-month period, to raise funds for War Child Canada). He has also ap- peared as guest faculty in the highly- respected Toronto SongStudio Song- writer's Workshop (led by Rik Emmett, Blair Packham, and Allister Bradley) in 2012. "Having such fabulous songwriters join me is just a real treat," says Mado- le, who has written with such artists as Johnny Reid, John Landry, JK Gulley, and Chip Martin (Nashville). "I'm plan- ning to debut some new songs, just to celebrate the occasion. After all, song- writing is the whole point of the series, the power of it. There's nothing quite like a song that grabs people by the heart. Hearing one of those songs for the fi rst time-- that can change your life. It's why we do this." Doors open at 1:30 p.m. Tickets are available in Glen Williams at Reeve and Clarke Fine Books, (open Thurs- day to Sunday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.) at 521 Main St. in Glen Williams), or by con- tacting co-producers Bruce or Marlene Madole at 905-459-9753 (or via email at brucemadole@sympatico.ca).
