Counseling Services

Counseling E-Permission Form

Counseling Electronic Consent
During school closures, counseling services will be offered in a limited, virtual format. Students and parents need to understand the limitations of privacy in virtual counseling.

Privacy: Every effort will be made to maintain the privacy of the group and/or individuals. Expectations for participation and behavior will be shared regarding confidentiality of the students' interactions. However, for counseling groups, the school counselor cannot guarantee all members will abide by the rules of the group. Any member who violates the group rules will be removed. Further, the confidentiality of your child will be maintained in accordance with privacy limits with the exception of:
If there is clear evidence or probability that your child is physically harming himself/herself.
If there is clear evidence or probability that your child is physically harming another person.
Or if there is reasonable evidence to suspect abuse to a minor, or an adult in a vulnerable state.

Rules:
What is said in a counseling session stays in the session.
Students should clarify comments of the school counselor or group participants to prevent misunderstandings, realizing body language and verbal cues may be easily misinterpreted on-line.
No screen shots or recording of counseling sessions.
Headphones need to be worn to assure privacy and confidentiality of others if you're part of a counseling group. Students participating should find an area where others in the home are not able to walk by and view who is on the screen.
Be respectful of other students by using kind words if you're part of a counseling group.

Parents and guardians may share questions or concerns by contacting the counselor providing the service.
Consentimiento Electrónico para Consejería
Durante el cierre de escuelas, se ofrecerán servicios de consejería virtualmente hasta el final del año escolar. Los estudiantes y los padres deben comprender las limitaciones de la privacidad de los estudiantes que recibirán consejería virtual.

Privacidad: En cuestiones de la privacidad, se hará todo lo posible para mantener la privacidad del grupo y los individuos participantes. Se compartirán las expectativas de participación y comportamiento con respecto a la confidencialidad de las interacciones de los estudiantes. Sin embargo, en los grupos de consejería, el consejero escolar no puede garantizar que todos los miembros se acaten a las reglas del grupo. Cualquier miembro que rompa las reglas será removido del grupo. También, la confidencialidad de su hijo(a) se mantendrá de acuerdo con los límites de privacidad, con la excepción de:
Si hay evidencia clara o probabilidad de que su hijo(a) se esté lastimando así mismo físicamente.
Si existe evidencia clara o probabilidad de que su hijo(a) esté dañando físicamente a otra persona.
O si hay evidencia razonable para sospechar abuso a un menor, o un adulto en un estado vulnerable.

Reglas:
Lo que se dice en una sesión de consejería permanece en la sesión.
Los estudiantes deben aclarar los comentarios del consejero escolar o los participantes del grupo para evitar malentendidos, ya que el lenguaje corporal o señales verbales pueden malinterpretarse fácilmente en línea.
No capturar imágenes de pantalla ni grabar sesiones de asesoramiento.
Se deben usar audífonos para garantizar la privacidad y confidencialidad de los demás si forman parte de un grupo de consejería.
Los estudiantes participantes deben encontrar un área donde otros en el hogar no puedan interrumpir o ver en la pantalla a otros estudiantes del grupo.
Ser respetuoso con los demás estudiantes usando palabras amables con los demás si eres parte de un grupo de consejería.

Los padres o tutores pueden compartir preguntas o inquietudes comunicándose con el consejero que brinda el servicio.
Gracias por su respuesta. Por favor de comunicarse con el consejero de su estudiante si tiene alguna pregunta o inquietud.
