Confidentiality and Limitations

The Counseling Service follows professional standards of the American Psychological Association. Regarding confidentiality, these standards prevent us from telling anyone – including faculty, staff, and parents – anything about a student's visit to the Counseling Service, even the fact that he or she has been to our office, unless that student gives us specific permission to do so. An exception is made when there is a strong possibility of serious harm to the student or others.
