What practical steps can school counselors take to meet their legal and ethical responsibilities to students in light of these caseloads?

Welfel, E. Ethics in counseling and psychotherapy. Belmont, CA. Cengage Learning. ISBN 9781305089723

The first one is,
Parents are naturally protective of the privacy of their families and are frequently uncomfortable with school personnel having access to private family information. They are also rightfully concerned about what happens to their children at school. How can school counselors respect those wishes and yet still serve adolescent students who want to discuss family matters with them without parental knowledge? What plans can high school counselors develop when they have a teenager in their office asking for and needing advice and information about behaviors about which their parents would be disapproving? What happens if school counselors refuse to offer counseling that parents would dislike and refer all students to resources outside of school? Is that a wise choice?

The second one is,
School counselors are now being held legally liable for their actions, especially in regard to students who are dangerous to themselves or others, but also when they fail to advise students properly about educational matters. At the same time, school systems give counselors huge student caseloads that frequently make it impossible for them to do their jobs in the way they would like. What practical steps can school counselors take to meet their legal and ethical responsibilities to students in light of these caseloads?

How do our history and culture affect our understanding of psychological disorders? What, if anything, can be done to reduce the stigma attached to psychological disorders?

While psychological disorders still have a stigma, steps have been taken by some individuals to help others understand the disorders a little better. For example, photographer John William Keedy captured images to express anxiety disorders, OCD, and varied neuroses in “Photos Reveal What It’s Like to Have Anxiety Issues.” Review “What It’s Like to Have Schizophrenia,” which attempts to show viewers what it’s like to have schizophrenia.

Then there is a personal story from Healthline called “In Their Shoes: Understanding What Bipolar Disorder Feels Like” and another from Mills Baker called “What Does It Feel Like to Have Bipolar Disorder?” Both stories are told from the point of view of someone with bipolar disorder and try to capture what it’s like living with the illness.

After reviewing the readings and videos and further researching the topic, post a two-paragraph response to the following:

How do our history and culture affect our understanding of psychological disorders? What, if anything, can be done to reduce the stigma attached to psychological disorders? Do the photographs, videos, and stories mentioned above help people to better understand the disorders, or do they serve to further stigmatize the disorders? Explain.
