Counselor Obligations

Any disclosure by anyone that they are having suicidal thoughts, or have a plan to kill themselves, or have the intent of killing themselves places all of us under obligation to report this to a trained professional, the Campus Police and/or to a responsible family member of the distressed person. Any disclosure by anyone that they are abusing a child must be reported by law to Child Protective Services in the county where the child resides.
