What is the protocol around confidentiality when working with children and youth?

At BeWell, we prioritize creating a safe and trusting environment, with confidentiality being a key part of that. While parents and guardians are often involved in the therapeutic process, what children or youth share with their therapist is kept private, unless there is a safety concern. 

We follow age-appropriate guidelines and always aim to keep parents informed while respecting the right to privacy. If there’s ever a risk of harm to the young person or others, therapists are required to break confidentiality to ensure safety. In these cases, we involve parents or guardians in a supportive and collaborative way.
