Which of the following is NOT an exception to confidentiality?

The correct answer identifies a situation that does not constitute an exception to confidentiality. In the context of school counseling, confidentiality is a critical component of the counselor-student relationship. However, there are established exceptions where confidentiality may need to be breached to ensure safety and compliance with legal obligations.

When someone is in a situation where they are harming others, are at risk of harming themselves, or if there is a legal requirement, like a subpoena, counselors are obligated to disclose information to protect individuals involved. In the case of option C, thinking that there is a "breach of trust" does not automatically necessitate breaching confidentiality. Instead, it is the counselor's assessment based on specific circumstances—such as potential harm—that determines if confidentiality must be broken. Therefore, option C stands out as it does not meet the criteria established for legally and ethically breaching confidentiality as the others do.
