You are supervising a school counseling intern and have assigned the intern to meet with a newly enrolled student named Juli. During the course of their visit, Juli tells the intern her dad is in jail. Juli also says she and her mom have been living in hotels or in people’s living rooms when mom can’t afford a hotel. Juli begs your intern not to tell anyone because she will get in trouble if her mom finds out she told. Your intern says they have met mom once, and believe mom would be receptive to help. Your intern is also aware of a local charity that helps with short-term housing, food, clothing. In supervision time, your intern asks about calling the mom to offer help. The intern is worried about breaching confidentiality, as well as the student getting in trouble. At the same time, the intern is worried about the student’s wellbeing.

Reviewing Ethical Dilemma Case Studies Applying Ethical Decision-Making Models Consulting with Peers
Kari, an intern from a CACREP-accredited program, is completing her internship with Robyn; a veteran counselor with 30 years experience who has served as mentor for more than one or two interns. On Monday Kari met with Lori, a 9th grader who relayed quite a story of woe centering around chaos at
years, particularly with Lori’s older siblings. On this occasion, there is an edge in what Lori shares which alarms Kari the intern. After checking several details of the situation with Lori, Kari decides that the chaos in the home was at a level requiring a report to county social services. Although Lori had not directly stated anything cementing suspicions for a mandated report, Kari was more uneasy about what was not said than what had been said. Per agreement with Lori, Kari would discuss the matter with Robyn as professional consultation prior to contacting social services. After listening to Kari’s concerns, Robyn said they would meet sometime later. Not until after school did Robyn get back to meet with Kari, and it became clear Robyn was not going to bring up the matter. When Kari mentions this Robyn states, “It’s nothing. I’ve known the family as long as I’ve been here. The parents are nuts, but they wouldn’t do anything to them. Just let it go.” Kari is dumbfounded. On the drive home she contacts her university supervisor, who in no uncertain terms indicates she should contact social services.
