  Confidentiality 

  • Although we appreciate the concern that others have for the students, we are bound by law and professional ethics to protect the confidentiality of all communications. As a result, we are unable to discuss details of a student’s situation or even indicate whether the student is receiving services.  The only way we may communicate any information about a student's involvement with the center is through a signed release from that individual giving us permission to communicate information, or when a student is in imminent danger of harming themselves or others.
