She posts an advertisement for the group in the school counseling office.     Her advertisement provides minimal information including the name of the group, the date and time of the first meeting and the school counseling office secretary is listed as the contact. Amanda instructs the secretary for the counseling office to admit the first nine students who call to enroll. The secretary adds students to the group as they call in irrespective of the nature of their problems, their personal goals for the group or previous experience with group.    At the first meeting, nine students show up including seven females and two males. Having never talked with or met the students before, Amanda begins by asking them to share why they have come to the group. One of the males, Paul, shares that he was new to the high school this year, and had just been released from a detention center after serving one year for domestic violence.  Paul states that he has “anger issues” especially directed at “women”.  At break, five of the females leave and do not return to the group. Paul breaks down in the group and states that he is going to kill himself when he gets home.       Ethical Dilemma 2   Jason, a 7th grader, was referred to you by a teacher who said Jason expressed suicidal intentions because he is having some personal and family issues. You talk to Jason long enough to assess that he is at imminent risk of suicide. Since Jason is a minor, the school counselor contacts the Jason’s parent(s) and prints a resource list of community mental health counselors to give to the parent. Is this the best course of action, ethically and legally, on behalf of this student?
