The Student Services Division fosters an educational environment that enhances personal growth by facilitating spiritual, intellectual, emotional, social, physical, and vocational development. The mission of the Counseling Center is to facilitate the emotional growth and development of our clients within the context of the whole person. During our lives we all experience change. Adjusting to college and transitioning into adulthood bring challenges in relationships, identity, self-management, and academic/vocational goals. Through counseling and other activities the Counseling Center strives to assist students in growing and developing through these challenges. ConfidentialityCounselors are ethically committed to confidentiality and federal/state laws require it. This means that even your attendance in counseling is kept private and confidential. The law states that there are four exceptions to this general rule: a) you may request (by means of a signed release) that your counselor may reveal information to other individuals or agencies of your choice; b) in instances where there is imminent danger of serious harm to yourself or others, a counselor may reveal that information to prevent harm; c) in cases involving physical and/or sexual abuse of children or endangered adults, the counselor must report such abuse; and d) where requested by subpoena or mandated by court order or state/federal law.
