Privacy Statement

All member records are protected according to our Privacy Policy. To ensure adherence to best practices and ethical guidelines in mental health, we avoid dual relationships. A dual relationship occurs when a mental health care provider has a second, significantly different relationship with their client beyond the traditional client-therapist dynamic. As such, Headspace requests that individuals who have received coaching or clinical services at Headspace wait until their care is complete before applying for a position. If hired, your Headspace account will be deactivated, and you will not be able to use Headspace services for the duration of your employment.
