The document discusses ethical principles for guidance counselors. It states that counselors should respect the dignity of each client, give primary allegiance to the client, and accept all those who seek assistance. Counselors should also promote counseling as a profession, enlist cooperation from other staff to provide support services, and refer clients to appropriate outside agencies or persons. When reporting findings about a client, counselors should use accurate and simple terms comprehensible to laypeople. Counselors should avoid counseling close friends or family members. The overriding obligation of counselors is to respect and protect the welfare of the client at all times.
