“Absolutely not. 90 percent of the time it is the parents that aid in contributing to mental health dilemmas.  I can only see parents as aggravating a situation, whereas mental health professionals are capable and willing to assist with all their resources in tow.”

“I think it all depends on the situation.  If the condition of one student is potentially dangerous to other members of the student body—as in severe mental instabilities that could result in risky or violent scenarios— then I believe that it would be appropriate for parents to be notified.”

“I definitely think that alerting parents to their child’s mental health histories is very important. No matter how small or trivial the history may be, parents should be alerted and kept in the know.”
