We love our volunteers! This forum serves as a tool to connect all of our wonderful Brighton volunteers. We appreciate all that you do for Brighton clients and know it is important to have support systems, as you may witness difficult situations. Use this tool to find support, comfort, and advice from other volunteers.
We highly encourage you to share your stories, experiences, and how they have affected you. This allows other volunteers, new and old to Brighton, to say "me too" and know how to better handle situations they may encounter in the future.
This forum MUST be HIPAA compliant. What exactly is HIPAA and what does it mean? It is the Health Insurance and Portability and Accountability Act. It is a law that our volunteers legally must follow. HIPAA protects the privacy of the clients we serve. If broken, there are severe consequences. To comply with HIPPA, on this forum we CANNOT use...
- Names
- Birth dates
- Names of places or room numbers our clients reside in
- Medications or conditions that our patients have
- ANYTHING that could serve as a patient identifier
Ultimately, this forum is for you! Let's keep our patient's privacy safe and confidential together.
