What does confidentiality mean, and why does it matter?
Confidentiality means that whatever you say to your social worker will not be shared with others, unless someone is hurting you, you are hurting someone else, you are planning to hurt yourself, or you give permission to share with another adult.
This is also important for group members. If a friend shares something in the group, it stays in the group and shouldn't be shared with others.
