Important

Generally speaking, agencies of the welfare system may provide welfare data to mental health providers if the agencies have provided the subject of the data with a Tennessen Warning. Mental health providers, on the other hand, must get informed consent of the individual to provide mental health data to other agencies in the welfare system; giving the individual a Tennessen Warning is not sufficient.

Yes.

No.
