The Learning Agreement states that what is said in the room stays in the room, and you may tell only certain people the personal things a fellow classmate talks about.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not Sure
• D. Sometimes

Answer: (B)

Confidentiality means protecting what someone shares and only disclosing it to people who need to know to provide care or ensure safety, ideally with the person’s consent. The idea that everything said in the room must stay there and that you may selectively tell only certain people about a classmate’s personal disclosures isn’t accurate. In practice, you should avoid promising absolute secrecy; you share information on a need-to-know basis with appropriate staff and only with consent, and you must disclose if there are safety concerns, abuse, or other legal reporting requirements. So, the statement is false because confidentiality has important limits and is not about keeping all information hidden or selectively shared.
