I think that sounds legal to me. Confidentiality is broken when they have reason to believe you are in danger, and confirming a suicide plan puts you in danger.

Edited to add: although I would be angry too. But that's different. You should ask your care co-ordinator why she felt the need to tell your dad and not a MH professional.

	Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes but when you look back, everything is different… you once called your brain a hard drive, well say hello to the virus.
