Confidentiality

The information you provide to your Counsellor is confidential with the following exceptions:

We are required by law to report to the appropriate authorities any suspicions that a child has been or is being abused.
If you are in serious and imminent danger of hurting yourself or another person, we may need to reveal to an appropriate third party enough information to help you.
If you are involved in a legal proceeding, the court may subpoena our treatment records. This is a rare occurrence, but you should be aware of the possibility.
Student Life values a team approach to assisting people. Therefore, staff working in different areas within this service (e.g., nurse, chaplain) may consult with one another to ensure that you are receiving the best possible care. You can choose to opt out of this feature if you prefer.

Please be assured that information will not be shared with family members or become part of your university record.
