Confidentiality
School counselors keep information confidential unless disclosure is required to prevent clear and imminent danger to the student or others, or when legal requirements demand confidential information be revealed. Essentially, what is said in the counseling office stays in the counseling office with the following exceptions:
- Students discuss someone hurting them
- Students want to hurt someone else
- And/or students want to hurt themselves.
A school counselor will consult with appropriate professionals when in doubt as to the validity of an exception.
