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)
