Confidentiality: Confidentiality in this group means that the Youth Wellness Practitioner and/or Family Specialist will respect the privacy of students. There are several exceptions, including: If a student shares that they plan to cause serious harm or death to themselves or others, and staff believe they have the intent and ability to carry out this threat in the near future, staff must then take steps to inform a parent/guardian and anyone who the student intends to harm. If a student acts in a way that could cause serious harm to yourself or someone else, even if theydo not intend to harm themselves or another person; in these situations, the Youth and Family Specialist will use professional judgment in deciding whether to inform a parent/guardian. If a student shares they are being abused-physically, sexually or emotionally, the Youth and Family Specialist is required by law to report the abuse.
