The Thrive Talk Confidentiality Statement

Private conversations with mentors are strictly confidential, which means they will not discuss what you tell them with anybody else. However, if they are worried about your or someone else’s safety, they may need to tell a trusted adult about it. They will always try to let you know beforehand if they need to do that.

What this means

Online, the trusted adult will be a Thrive Talk counselor, and offline (if you are being mentored in your school), the adult might be a teacher or perhaps a teacher working in Pastoral Care in your school.

All mentors are trained to tell a trusted adult if they are worried about you because they think you are at real risk, are being severely bullied, abused, or not being looked after properly. This is because Thrive Talk believes that your safety, both offline and online, is paramount, so by telling an adult, they are protecting you and trying to get you the help you need. This is why mentors will always remind you that you have agreed to the confidentiality statement if they are worried while mentoring you. Thrive Talk trains the mentors carefully to understand what they can and can’t keep to themselves.

Don’t hesitate to contact Thrive Talk for more details. They can help you find the right therapy to support your healing in any situation.
