Confidential and Voluntary
The Student Assistance Program is Confidential. What the student says to a counselor remains private. Wellness will not share any information concerning a student’s involvement with the Student Assistance Program without prior knowledge and written permission, except as required by law.
Participation in the Student Assistance Program is voluntary. It is up to the student whether or not to use this benefit. This may not be the case in “Administrative” referral situations.
Wellness always places the safety and security of students and the college environment first and foremost and will take appropriate action to communicate any safety or security risks or concerns directly to the appropriate school officials.
