Confidentiality

Anything our counselors discuss with students, whether in person, on Google Meet, email, text, phone, or otherwise, is confidential. Confidentiality means our school counselors will not share what they talk about with anyone else.

However, there are some situations where our school counselors must break confidentiality:

  • If a student is hurting themself, have been hurting themself, or plan to hurt themself.
  • If a student is hurting someone, have been hurting someone, or plan to hurt someone.
  • If someone has hurt a student, is hurting them, or plans to hurt them.

In these cases, our school counselors must report to authorities like school administration, law enforcement, or the Oregon Department of Human Services.

Other situations where confidentiality might be limited include:

  • Parents/guardians may ask what our school counselors and students talked about, and they have the right to know.
  • A court may order our counselors to share information if it involves a student.
  • School staff, like teachers, may need to know some information to help a student.

Even in these situations, our school counselors will try to protect confidentiality as much as possible. If our school counselors must share information, they will only share the minimum needed. The confidentiality of our students is important to us. If you have any questions, please contact your school counselor.
