Confidentiality

 

The Center for Counseling and Human Development respects and protects the individual student's right to privacy and believe that a commitment to confidentiality is indispensable to effective, successful counseling.

Information which is obtained in the context of a counseling relationship may be released to other individuals and agencies only with the student's written permission.

There are some exceptions to the general policy of confidentiality required by professional practice and by law. These exceptions include situations involving threats to ones self and threats to others.

The Center does not initiate contact with a potential student client because of our respect for an individual's privacy. We ask that faculty, staff, parents, and fellow students refer individuals who could benefit from counseling services. If a potential student client is anxious about coming for counseling, it may be helpful to offer to accompany them to their initial session.
