The Counseling Center provides free, confidential short term counseling to NMU students. All currently enrolled students are eligible to use the Center. It is the policy of the Counseling Center not to release any information regarding your use of our services or personal matters discussed with your counselor or psychologist.
Confidentiality is assured except for the following situations.
You may authorize the Counseling Center to release records or other information to individuals of your choosing. This may be done only with your written consent. Under ethical and legal requirements, your counselor or psychologist would break confidentiality in the event of clear and imminent danger to yourself or another person. Michigan law requires that therapists disclose information regarding present child abuse or neglect. Such disclosure would not happen without your knowledge.
