保密

CAPS staff maintain the highest level of confidentiality in accordance with California Law and ethical guidelines established by the American Psychological Association. CAPS staff cannot confirm or deny that a student is being seen at our center OR release any information about them to anyone without their written permission. CAPS成绩与学生的学习成绩完全分开.

On rare occasion, we are required by law to notify the appropriate parties if:

a student presents imminent risk of harm to themselves or an identifiable other
a student reports child abuse (including viewing of child pornography) or abuse of a dependent adult
a student is considered "gravely disabled" and unable to meet their most basic needs because of a mental illness

谁有资格获得CAPS?:

CAPS is the primary provider of psychological services for full-time undergraduates and graduate students at Saint Mary's College. Full-time undergraduates and graduate students can receive individual or group counseling by a psychologist or therapist. Part-time students are seen on a limited basis for evaluation and referral to a community practitioner. Faculty and staff are welcome to use our consultation and referral services.

如何转介:

If you are concerned about a student, please encourage them to contact CAPS to make an appointment. 这里有一些有用的推荐学生的方法:

建议学生打电话给CAPS安排预约. 如果事情不紧急，他们可以给我们发电子邮件或在网上安排.
当你和学生在一起时，打电话给CAPS以便于联系.

Please remember that the communication between a counselor and client is confidential. We cannot discuss details of a student's situation or even the fact that counseling is being received without the student's written consent.
