Groups
Small groups are designed to be developmental and preventative, and address issues that may be interfering with a student’s academic and/or personal success. Small groups are offered to all students several times a year. Groups topics may focus on friendships, self esteem, divorce, anger/stress management, and grief/loss. Group participants are usually referred by parents, teachers, or the student themselves and parents will always be notified by permission slip if their child is invited to participate in a small group during the school year.
Confidentiality
Our counselors provide a confidential helping relationship with a caring adult based on trust, respect, and compassion. Standards for professional ethics dictate that those who use the counseling service can be confident that the information they share will not be disclosed except under the following circumstances:
**threats of violence or harm to self or others
**suspected abuse
**illegal activity
**presence of alcohol/drugs or weapons on campus
Under these circumstances, the counselor will follow mandated reporting procedures and school district guidelines in acting in the best interests of the student by involving parents and/or others who can help. These confidentiality guidelines will be reviewed with all students at least once each school year.
