The response to the classmate need to be just like this.
Example Response (Response Needs to be writen just like the response below No copying)
RISE Feedback:
REFLECT: I concur with “Action plans should reflect the type of services that are needed and have an idea of the expected outcome of the services” because it is in line with Hatch and Hartline’s intentional school counseling guidelines in regards to determining students needs.
INQUIRE: Can you further explain what “closing-the-gap action plans” are?
SUGGEST: I encourage you to revisit Hatch and Hartline’s MTMDSS tier interventions in order to add a citation that would illustrate your example on bullying prevention efforts.
ELEVATE: What if you re-purposed “For example, after a needs assessment, the school is having problems with bullying” as “Following Trish Hatch’s MTMDSS tier based interventions, if the school is having problems with bullying, after a needs assessment, we could… citation…” for a more weighted argument?

- Identify some mandates that exist to protect confidentiality when working with minors.
There is significant importance for the school counselor to protect confidentiality. These are in place to protect the Privacy Act. According to the ASCA (2019), the student and school counselor maintain the importance of this legal right afforded to this counseling relationship. We are not beholden to confidentiality when the student is at risk of harming themselves or causing harm to others. This is so important if a student is going to cause injury. We must look at how the Tarsoff vs. Regents of the University of California came into law specifically for psychotherapists. We, as school counselors, would want to be in accordance. In one case in our recent national past, allegedly, staff at a high school, someplace in the United States, a student was drawing violent and aggressive pictures. These were given to staff, and later on in the week, the student came back to the school and proceeded to shoot up the school. I do not have the details and am not attempting to be a Monday-morning quarterback in this situation. This is a warning for us to keep lines of communication open and consult with others with more experience and knowledge. Getting a second opinion from someone competent and effective is always good.
How can working collaboratively with other professionals when working with high-risk youth be beneficial?
It is essential to have a collaborative relationship with all of our staff because we are trained in the counseling aspect of the school system. A while back, I remember a teacher making a referral of a student because their mood seemed to be lower, and they did not act as happy as usual. The School Psychologist completed an assessment and found the student to be having symptoms of self-harm. The matter was serious, and the teacher acted on this and allowed the professional an opportunity; this is an example of how beneficial all staff are in working with high-risk students. We never know any student can become high-risk.

- Identify some mandates that exist to protect confidentiality when working with minors.
A school counselor and a student in a counseling relationship have the right to privileged communication according to ASCA: “A school counselor, who is in a counseling relationship with a student, has an ethical and legal obligation to keep information contained within that relationship. Confidentiality is the ethical and legal term ascribed to the information communicated within the counseling relationship, and it must be maintained unless keeping that information confidential leads to foreseeable harm” (ASCA, 2019).
We are responsible for making students feel safe and comfortable when speaking to us. We should make students feel that they can confide in us in order so that we can better help them.
As stated, however, there are exceptions to confidentiality when a student could be in danger or a danger to others. As we all know, all educators/people who work with minors are mandated reporters and must report, for example, suspected cases of abuse.
- How can working collaboratively with other professionals when working with high-risk youth be beneficial?
One agency that school counselors may collaborate with is Child Protective Services (CPS). As we saw in Lost and Found, Ms. Sells had to report a case of abuse to CPS, and a subsequent investigation was launched, and the child was removed from the home. However, we also saw that CPS misstepped and caused even further harm to the abused student. Ms. Sells did do her due diligence and provide information to CPS about how to not make the situation worse, but CPS did not listen. We as school counselors need to do our due diligence and work with agencies to make sure that they do not make the situation worse for our students. When agencies such as CPS do their jobs correctly and diligently, they are a good and sometimes, the only resource for our students who are in dire situations.
