Counseling confidentiality
Communication between you and Clackamas Community College counselors is confidential as required (except as limited by law). Generally, information may not be disclosed to another person or agency outside of the Counseling Department (including parents, teachers, or staff) without your written consent. Among the legally and ethically determined exceptions to this policy are:
- Counselors need to disclose information necessary to prevent you from acting on plans to hurt yourself or others.
- Counselors need to report suspected abuse of children, animals, older adults (65+) or people with disabilities (both developmental and acquired) to the appropriate authorities, regardless of whether the abuse is current or historical.
- Counselors need to disclose medically relevant information if you have a potential medical emergency.
- If your records are subpoenaed and a judge court orders the release of these records, counselors must comply with this order.
- The CCC counseling staff members work as an integrated unit, which means we consult with each other.
