Ethical Responsibilities
School counselors face ethical challenges every day. Whether you are new to the field or have been practicing for years, ethical challenges can still throw you for a loop. From confidentiality issues to records maintenance, from duty of care to sexual harassment issues, a school counselor's ethical questions can spring up from every corner. 小红帽直播 provides a number of resources and services to help members meet these legal and ethical challenges as comprehensively as possible.
The 小红帽直播 Ethical Standards for School Counselors (also available in Spanish) are the basis of 小红帽直播's ethical program. Review the changes in the 2022 standards vs. the 2016 standards.
小红帽直播 also has Ethical Standards for School Counselor Education Faculty.
The association also publishes books and journal articles on legal and ethical issues, as well as addressing them in the members-only 小红帽直播 Scene. Each issue of 小红帽直播 School Counselor magazine contains an article written by the chair of 小红帽直播's Ethics Committee about a legal or ethical issue.
