    As your child's parent or legal guardian, you have the right to their information throughout the counseling process. However, therapy works best for children if they feel a sense of privacy and trust with their therapist. I will help maintain this balance between privacy and disclosure. I will alert you if your child discloses any active suicidal ideation or homicidal ideation. I will also assess any safety concerns that parents should be aware of.
