Confidentiality

 

All communications with COLAP are privileged and held in the strictest confidence.

Members of the legal community can be reluctant to seek assistance for behavioral health, well-being, and career-related issues.  The Colorado Supreme Court addressed this concern by making COLAP a separate and independent agency.  

In addition, pursuant to Rule 254, the court mandated that all communications with COLAP are “privileged and held in the strictest confidence.”

COLAP is prohibited from disclosing any information without a signed release from the individual it pertains to, and information shared with COLAP cannot be used as evidence in complaints, investigations, or in legal or disciplinary proceedings.  Reaching out to COLAP cannot negatively impact your license, career, or personal relationships; but not reaching out might.
