What is one thing that stood out to you in the content presented in this course? Why?

A particular concept that stood out to me in this course was the concept, "do no harm," As I noted in my discussion post from the article "HIPPA or FERPA, or Not" (Williams, 2010). The role of a school counselor is first and foremost to "do no harm." As "doing no harm" may be interpreted differently by individuals, various specific rules, principles and guidelines have been put in place to help counselors create a safe and supportive school environment for individuals in the school community. These include such things as (but not limited to), confidentiality and privacy, informed consent, boundaries and personal relationships, competence, referral, ethical decision making, continuous learning and self reflection (ASCA, 2022). School counselors can still have challenges with issues pertaining to confidentiality, reporting and privacy- even when laws and guidelines are in place.

How can you apply what you learned this week to your career?

Defining the Problem
Applying the ASCA ethical code and the legal issues: ASCA's ethical code is to "do no harm"
Considering the student's chronological and developmental levels.
Considering the setting, parental rights and minor's rights: School counselors are required to respect the inherent rights and responsibilities of parents for their children.
Applying the moral principle: Counselor should consider their moral responsibility in maintaining confidentiality.
Determining a potential course of action and its consequences.
Evaluating the selected action:
Consulting with peers: It's always important to consult with peers for difficult cases that involve reporting to third parties, confidentiality and legal concerns.
Implementing the selected course of action.
