The school counselor protects the confidentiality of information received in the counseling process as specified by law and ethical standards . School counselors are to inform the appropriate authorities when a counselee ’ s condition indicates a clear and imminent danger to the counselee or others . This is to be done after careful deliberation and , where possible , after consultation with other professionals .
