What is the name of your state? California
I am a suicide prevention volunteer. I would like to know the extent to which the Tarasoff precedent holds for suicide prevention crisis hotlines. The only information I can find covers mental health providers such as counselors, therapists, and psychiatrists. I cannot find any information about crisis lines and whether or not we are bound by law to report homicidal calls and notify the intended victim.
Please advise.
By the way, I do live in California, where the law is in effect.
