A dependent wishing to be seen may make use of these services in an identical manner. Student access to counseling and mental health services is considered by the service and by the school to be a private health matter of the utmost importance. The rule of complete confidentiality always applies, as in any relationship between a therapist and patient. Student use of the service is not made known to the school, and is never recorded on any transcript. Students who wish to inquire further about any aspect of service are invited to call the Director of the service, or any of the numbers listed.
Anonymous calls are also welcome.
The rule of confidentiality applies to all students. Anti-retroviral therapy for HIV exposure, if recommended, should commence immediately.

Students will be provided with a laminated card which they should keep with their I.D. with crucial information from the manual.
