Hello and thank you for your interest in counseling sessions with your school counselor. When parents request a series of counseling sessions we request informed consent by the parent, which is this form.

This form is intended to provide you with important information about the counseling relationship and your child’s rights and responsibilities. Sessions may be provided either face-to-face and/or virtually. This form provided consent for either method.

Provision of services: Individual and group counseling sessions are voluntary, available to all students, are intended to be brief (6 or less sessions) in nature, and aim to promote the effective educational, career, social, and emotional development of the student to support school success, with a focus on the Great 8 Skills for Daily Life. The counselor will continue to support the student by working with the family to obtain a referral to community services, as needed.

Confidentiality is a key feature of the counseling experience: The information discussed during counseling will not be shared with anyone except for those required by law or when permission is granted by the student. The situations required by law are listed below:

*In the case that the school counselor feels as though your child is in danger of hurting himself/herself and/or others, the school counselor is required to take action. Every effort will be made to work with you and inform you in such a case.
*In instances of current or previous emotional abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, and/or neglect of a minor or elder are shared, school counselors are required to take action.
*In instances where illegal activity is reported to the school counselor, the school counselor is required to take action.

Please Note: Although the information shared during counseling is confidential, because the child is a minor, parents/guardians have a right to be informed of their child’s general progress. For virtual counseling, because virtual sessions are unique, we encourage parents to be present as well.
