§ 9024. Payment for child psychological assessments and short-term counseling. (a) The costs of a psychological assessment done for the purposes of evaluating the mental health needs of a child victim may be paid from the Victims' Compensation Fund. (b) The costs of short-term counseling, as defined by the Agency, for the purposes of meeting the mental health needs of a child victim may be paid from the Victims' Compensation Fund. (c) Any psychological assessment or counseling provided pursuant to this section shall be provided by a qualified mental health practitioner as determined by the Agency. The Agency shall authorize the repayment of reasonable expenses for a psychological assessment and/or short-term counseling. Such reimbursement shall not exceed a maximum amount to be determined by the Agency. Any mental health practitioner performing a psychological assessment and/or short-term counseling pursuant to this section shall seek reimbursement for such services from the patient's insurance carrier, including Medicaid and Medicare, if available. If the mental health practitioner has recovered from insurance, the Agency shall only provide compensation sufficient to total the maximum amount provided for in the Board's rules and regulations. Funding for psychological assessments and/or short-term counseling shall be available to the victim regardless of other health insurance resources which may exist. (d) A parent or guardian acting on behalf of a child victim shall not pay any out-of-pocket costs associated with a psychological assessment or short-term counseling, and shall not be required to file an application with the Agency. Notwithstanding other language in this chapter, all psychological assessments and short-term counseling expenses of child victims shall be paid for through the Victims' Compensation Fund and such payment shall be considered full compensation to the mental health practitioner providing such services. (e) Nothing in this section shall preclude a victim from applying to the Agency for other costs incurred. (f) For the purpose of this section, “child victim” or “child” means any victim or person who had not yet reached that victim's or person's eighteenth birthday on the date of the commission of the crime. 71 Del.

§ 9501. Purpose. (a) The General Assembly finds and declares that:  (1) The resolution of felony, misdemeanor and juvenile delinquent offenses can be costly and complex in a judicial setting where the parties involved are necessarily in an adversary posture and subject to formalized procedures; and (2) Victim-offender alternative case resolutions can meet the needs of Delaware's citizens by providing forums in which persons may voluntarily participate in the resolution of certain criminal offenses in an informal and less adversarial atmosphere. (b) It is the intent of the General Assembly that each program established under this chapter do all of the following:  (1) Establish and use victim-offender alternative case resolution programs to help meet the need for alternatives to the courts for the resolution of certain criminal offenses, whether before or after adjudication. (2) Encourage continuing community participation in the development, administration and oversight of local victim-offender alternative case resolution. (3) Offer structures for victim-offender alternative case resolution which may serve as models for programs in other communities. (4) [Repealed.]70 Del. Laws, c. 444, §  1;  82 Del. Laws, c. 92, § 2;

It is not subject to disclosure in any judicial or administrative proceeding unless all parties to the communication waive the privilege.
