While we at the Counseling Center cannot usually do anything with the information you give us about a student due to confidentiality constraints, there are avenues that allow you to report a situation to the appropriate parties.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the Counseling Center, so as to abide by ethical and legal considerations, we cannot confirm or deny that a student is being seen \u2013 and can only share information about a student in very few and specific circumstances:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • If we are told by the student that they are wanting to harm themselves or harm others.<\/li>\n
  • If the student tells us about current abuse or neglect of a child or vulnerable adult.<\/li>\n
  • As the result of a court order.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The following links allow you to report your concerns about a student to the appropriate place, which will allow them to be addressed by the appropriate individuals. If you feel that a student should be seen for an appointment, please give the student our contact information and have them contact us to move forward. Mention to them that we are a free and confidential service.<\/strong>\u00a0We thank you for your concern and for wanting to help our students succeed.<\/p>\n<\/div>
