Both counselors are equipped with a local network of psychiatric services and professionals to whom they may refer students and their families for regular emotional support, outside of Emma Willard.
Emergency services are available on weekends.
Information that is shared with the counselors remains confidential, unless the student agrees to the counselor's sharing of information with another professional, or unless the student has verbalized thoughts of harm to herself or to others.
