But what did they tell you?

• We can understand any parents' concern with wanting to know. Just like many adults want to know what others are talking about or saying about themselves. Trust the process and allow for your child to grow as an individual. If ever a students safety is in question (this may be sexual behaviors, drug use, self-harm, and other threats or dangers) we are legally obliged to share this information.

When you meet with them, can you tell them ______.

• We are professionals with a professional degree(s). Counselors and therapists may use varying techniques or theories that are always in the best interest of what may be working for your child or what your child prefers. We of course will always consider what you want them to hear, but may not do so in such a direct way.

I no longer want my child to meet with their counselor.

• Reconsider this thought as a counselors' intent is never to harm, cause rifts, or report issues.
