• Individual Planning: This component assists students in monitoring and understanding their own development and is intended to help students plan and establish goals.

It is critical that students have a safe place to discuss their academic, career, and social / personal concerns without fear that what they say will be shared with others.

Professional school counselors are ethically obligated to keep the information that students and / or parents share with them in the context of a counseling relationship private and confidential.

Counselors will not share what students tell them unless the student authorizes the disclosure, legal requirements demand that the information be shared, or if, in the counselor's professional judgment, there is a clear and present danger to the student or to others.
