Counseling sessions are confidential within the limits of the law. Legal exceptions to confidentiality apply when there is serious risk of harm to self or others. Confidentiality is strongly maintained and is reflected in the numbers of students who have used the services with satisfaction and trust. Counseling records are NOT included in a student's educational record at Centre.

Flexible appointment times are available each weekday during the regular academic term. Students are offered appointments which do NOT conflict with their class schedules. Counseling appointments are made by calling x5740 or 859-238-5740 from an off-campus phone. The Parsons Student Health number may also be called at x5530 or 859-238-5530 from an off-campus phone.

After-hour emergency procedure:

For an after hours counseling crisis which requires immediate attention, students may call 859-238-5740 and voice mail will give emergency number.

Don't wait until you are overwhelmed.
Early assistance is the best route to maintaining well-being.
