CONFIDENTIALITY

The Center strongly believes in maintaining the trust of our students and respecting privacy and confidentiality within the relationship. Staff members are committed to professional ethical standards and abide by state and federal laws regarding confidentiality. To ensure effective care for a student, the professional staff of the Center, working as a treatment team, may consult with one another.

Students desiring information be released to other persons (including faculty, staff, and parents) must sign a Release of Information Form for any communication with Center practitioners, otherwise information will not be disclosed.

Typical limits to confidentiality include critical situations where there appears to be a potential threat of safety to self or others, concerns of possible neglect or abuse involving minors, elderly or persons with disabilities, or a signed judge’s subpoena requesting information. If there are public health matters sharing information about contagion is required, students will be informed about this practice and providers will discuss process, protocols, and requirements with students.
