[acb-hsp] Hipa Question

[Laura G.]

Darla,

Was your question about the consumer's privacy when you must meet with 
her in such a public place?  I, too, would be very uncomfortable with 
this.  In your agency, is there a conference room or another more 
private area that you can give the consumers as an alternative?  I can 
see that type of arrangement being problematic if you have agency staff 
meeting with more than one consumer during a given time period at the 
agency.
