Mission
Triton College counselors value the individual, educating and serving our students by providing mental health and wellness services using a holistic approach.
Confidentiality
Respecting your confidentiality is one of the Counseling and Wellness Center's highest priorities. To ensure your confidentiality, counseling records are kept in an electronic database stored in a secured, password-protected environment separate from all other academic records. In order for counselors to discuss any information about you with any individual or agency outside of our center, you must give signed consent. However, there are exceptions to confidentiality to be aware of before beginning counseling.
Counseling Exceptions
Mental Health Optional Disclosure
The State of Illinois offers all college students the opportunity to identify any adult individual(s) who would be notified in the event that you experience a mental health emergency that puts you or others in danger of harm. You are not required to designate a contact. Should you choose to designate someone, it can be anyone over the age of 18 (a parent, relative, sibling, family friend, etc.)
If you wish to designate a contact person, please complete the Student Optional Disclosure of Mental Health Information Form (see below). You will need to login to the student portal to complete the disclosure form. This information will be stored confidentially and securely. Only Triton College counselors, the dean of student services, and the dean of enrollment services may access these forms.
Student Optional Disclosure of Mental Health Information Form
This form will remain valid until the student revokes authorization by notifying the college in writing that s/he is withdrawing this authorization. Additionally, students wishing to change the name for the designated contact person may do so by submitting a new Optional Disclosure of Mental Health Information Form.
For more information about this act and disclosure, please contact a Triton College counselor at 708-456-0300, ext. 3588.
