Referral partner guidance for ethical routing, privacy, and clear next steps.

Cedar Elm is being developed as a future counseling practice and education resource for veterans, first responders, public safety personnel, couples, and families. Referral partner work is about clarity, privacy, and ethical routing. It is not paid referral generation, case exchange, partner access to records, or crisis response.
