Our staff is under legal and ethical obligation to keep counseling information confidential.
We cannot discuss a client's situation, or even reveal that counseling is being received, without the client's written consent.
Sometimes the faculty or staff member who made the referral will call to follow up. Please understand that we cannot tell you that the student has made an appointment without his/her written consent. We will generally ask a student if the referring individual
can have feedback about our contact (at least to let them know that the student has kept their appointment), but if the student does not want any information released, we have to honor that choice.
Most students appreciate the referral and are quite willing to provide some feedback on the counseling contact.
If you wish to follow-up on someone you have referred, please ask that individual to provide us with permission to speak with you. If you do not hear from us, it is likely that permission has been denied.
