What moka.care ethics mean for our practitioners
Solid, proven skills
- Our psychologists, coaches and therapists have received a high level of theoretical and practical professional training, enabling them to work in a variety of settings: individual and group sessions, content creation, corporate consulting.
- They commit to continuous training in order to develop their knowledge and professional skills. To this end, moka.care offers them the opportunity to join intervision groups in order to take a step back from their practice and maintain a dynamic of growth and professionalization in the service of the employees they follow.
A great professionalism
- Our practitioners are committed to using all their skills to help you grow and can refer you to a colleague if needed.
- They observe an attitude of reserve, respect and benevolence towards themselves, and have the right to refuse support that is not in line with their ethics or skills, whether this involves individual or group support, business advice or content production. They will then direct the request to other, more appropriate professionals.
Confidentiality and professional secrecy are the watchwords
- Our practitioners are bound by professional secrecy and treat all information about an employee as strictly confidential.
- They ensure the anonymity of the people who consult them and do not communicate any information about a person to a third party without his or her consent.
- They guarantee employees the strict confidentiality of exchanges held during individual and group sessions.
⚠️ In serious situations, our practitioners may breach confidentiality, particularly if the person represents a danger to themselves or others.
For example, if the person represents a danger to him/herself (suicidal crisis), the practitioner will assess the risk, urgency and dangerousness, and may need to contact emergency medical services to ensure the person's safety.
The European Court of Human Rights within the European Union, and the Supreme Court of the United States, pay particular attention to the protection of professional secrecy.
The disclosure of professional secrecy to the judicial authorities can only be exercised by the practitioner on grounds of necessity or the general interest, as recognized by the jurisprudence of the countries concerned.
For French practitioners, professional secrecy is subject to a strict legal framework and rules. Itsviolation is punishable under article 226-13 of the French Penal Code. Article 226-14 nevertheless lists certain cases in which the law requires or authorizes the disclosure of secrecy:
- When a minor or a person who is unable to protect him/herself due to age or physical or mental incapacity is the victim of abuse or deprivation, including sexual abuse or mutilation.
⇒ The practitioner informs the judicial, medical or administrative authorities
- When, in the exercise of his profession, the practitioner observes physical or psychological abuse or deprivation
⇒ He informs the Procureur de la République or the cellule départementale de recueil des informations préoccupantes, with the consent of the non-vulnerable adult victim (consent not necessary in the case of a minor).
- When, in the exercise of his profession, the practitioner observes domestic violence
⇒ He informs the Public Prosecutor, even against the consent of the adult victim, after having asked him, provided that the practitioner considers that the victim's life is in immediate danger and that the victim is under the influence of the perpetrator of the violence.
- When the practitioner is aware of the dangerous nature for himself/herself or for others of the persons who consult them and of whom he/she knows that they hold a weapon or that they have expressed their intention to acquire one.
⇒ He informs the Préfet (in Paris, the Préfet de Police)
Given the imperative nature of professional secrecy, the practitioner who decides to reveal it in these situations communicates only what is strictly essential for the truth to emerge.
Under the terms of article 226-14 of the French Penal Code, revealing information to an authority is not compulsory but authorized: it refers to an assessment, a professional positioning, an ethical choice made by the practitioner at his or her own discretion.
❓ How should a practitioner behave in a situation not covered by article 226-14 of the French Penal Code, but which he or she considers to be a cause for concern?
While respecting professional secrecy, practitioners can discuss the situation of concern with the team of referral psychologists at moka.care, who are always available to help practitioners.
A neutral stance
Our practitioners and our team of referral psychologists are committed to maintaining a neutral and benevolent stance in relations between companies and their employees. They are committed to promoting employees' mental health and respecting the company's interests. In addition, they keep confidential the names of companies supported by moka.care.
- They do not suggest termination of the employment contract, nor are they authorized to do so.
- They do not recommend or provide time off work, as they are not physicians. In the event that an employee's mental health presents a serious risk that warrants therapeutic time off work, practitioners will refer the employee to a qualified physician.
- They will not agree to testify or provide evidence in a dispute between your company and an employee unless ordered to do so by a court.
- They may agree to issue a psychological follow-up certificate for the employees they follow in the context of litigation not involving your company.
