Ethical Principles
There are a number of mental health service providers such as an advocate, change agent, registered nurses, collaborator etc. A change agent is the one who aims at bringing change in the minds of the people. His main goal is to recover the patient from mental illness and let the patient to seek for hope. These change agents brings a positive mental change in families, individuals, communities, adults etc. They use education as their basic tool (Powell & Brodsky, 2004). In addition to this a registered psychiatric nurse is the one who work with mental health care organizations and their post keeps on increasing with the rise in education. These nurse work at two levels, advanced and basic. Basic level nurses work with different families and individuals; they diagnose the mental illness, plan the therapy and then implement it on the patient. On the other hand, registered nurses are specialist in a particular area. An advocate is the one who is appointed by an organization for mental health services; he must be highly qualified (Morrissey & Reddy, 2006). It is the primary right of a mentally disturbed patient that his information should be kept as secret with the mental health service provider. However, in some cases such circumstances may arise in which a service provider has to take a decision regarding leaking the clients information or keeping it as a sector (Barsky, 2010).

For instance, if a therapist leaks the client's information to others for his self-interest, this act is regarded as unethical. Apart from this, if the therapist leaks the clients information in a court where it is imperative to reveal the clients information then this act is not regarded unethical because the therapist in this case is legally bound to reveal everything about the patient. Similarly, if a therapist notices that the patient is attempting for a suicide, he should communicate this to others who are in relation with the patient. This is also not regarded as unethical because revealing this fact about the patient is important (Cordess, 2001).
The term privacy is also related to confidentiality and it refers to the fact that the therapist should not access the patient's personal records. However, in some circumstances, it becomes essential to have access to the personal records of the patient. In this case, if a therapist wants to be sure that he has maintained all the ethical standards while dealing with the patient; he should discuss this thing with the patient. It means that the therapist should let the patient know that…

Furthermore, the University's core values place an emphasis on development and learining. While the APA ethics statement is certainly not devoid of this requirement, as it asks for psychologists to continue their education and keep up-to-date on their understanding of subjects, the major theme in the APA's statement is an ethics violation free environment.
