A note about confidentiality…

Everything that is said in a counseling session is CONFIDENTIAL. There are, however, 3 exceptions to this:

If you say that someone is hurting you. If you say that you are going to hurt

someone else. If you say that you will hurt yourself.

In these cases, the counselor will need to break confidentiality in order to get help.
