For students over 18, medical and counseling treatment records are protected by Federal and Ohio laws on privileged communication. Therefore, the center staff is able to discuss a student's condition and case only with written permission from the student. This situation can be frustrating for concerned parents. If you want to discuss your child's treatment, he or she must sign a release of information before disclosure. Parents are contacted if there is a life-threatening crisis.
Counseling is available to students with substance abuse problems.
When necessary, students are referred to local treatment centers. There is not a psychiatrist on staff at the Center.
