Confidentiality Concerns
A counselor-student relationship must be built on trust and confidentiality. This means that we are bound by ethical codes of the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) to keep conversations between counselors and students private. We try our best to keep parents and teachers updated on the progress and relevant information for the betterment of your student. There are times when we may need to break confidentiality and tell appropriate persons. This is when students may be susceptible to:
- Harm Themselves
- Harm Others
- Abuse and/or Neglect
