BELOW ARE COMMON HEALTH RELATED QUESTIONS THAT JENN, SHAFIA AND HIPE RECEIVE, WE WANTED TO PROVIDE A SPACE FOR EASILY ACCESSIBLE ANSWERS. IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION, CLICK THE BOX ABOVE TO ASK! |
From a HIPE member:
My general understanding is that if you are under 18 and your parents are paying for your therapy, it really depends on the therapist and what their usual practices are. Sometimes, therapists will talk with your parents but will be very vague and won’t get into any details. Others won’t ever tell your parents anything unless they think what you’re saying to them is life-threatening or is having a major impact on your life (ie. They probably wouldn’t say anything if you told them you drank alcohol occasionally, but might if you said you were drinking in the mornings, at school, all of the time etc.) If you know the therapist you would like to see or if you have a few options in mind, I would say to just ask them about confidentiality and what they usually tell parents! I hope this helps :)
