Bullying

And anything else that you need help with!
Confidentiality
We practice the following confidentiality policy in our office:
Everything you say in (here) stays in here, unless...
*You are going to hurt yourself.
I need to keep you safe and get extra help.
*You are being/have been hurt by others.
Again, it's my job to keep you safe. I will get extra help to make sure you're safe.
*You want to hurt others.
I need to keep the other person safe and get extra help.
*You give me permission to share.
You may want me to let your teachers or parents know what's going on because telling them yourself is hard. If you want em to tell, I will.
*If you know about someone else being hurt.
My job is to keep all children safe. I will need to get extra help if there is someone being hurt.
School counselors recognize their primary obligation for confidentiality is to the student but balance that obligations with an understanding of the family or guardians' legal and inherent rights to be the guiding voice in their children's lives.
(ASCA Code of Ethics, 2010, A.2.d).
