      What is confidentiality?

      Confidentiality is keeping information discussed between the student and the school counselor (or the parent and the counselor) private.  Confidentiality is vital to the student-counselor relationship. 

      Are there times when the school counselor will break confidentiality?

      Yes, there are certain instances when the school counselor is required to report confidential information, such as:

      • When a student reports someone is hurting them
      • When a student reports they are hurting someone else
      • When a student reports they are hurting themselves
      • With the student’s permission (often something that is uncomfortable for the student but useful for a parent or teacher to know)
