Confidentiality

Counseling services such as specific content of NTU counseling, inquiries, discussions and assessment are treated confidentially. No one outside our office may have access to counseling information without your prior, express, written permission except for the exceptions listed below. NTU adheres to the ethical guidelines of Tribal, State and local laws. All records are governed by FERPA and seek to be compliant with HIPAA standards. NTU maintains records in a confidential management system are maintained in secure and locked files.

The only exceptions to confidentiality are those required by law such as requirements that we report suspected or known abuse, neglect or exploitation of children or disabled adults or previously unreported communicable disease. In cases of imminent danger to self or others NTU may be required or allowed to break confidentiality in order to secure a court order is issued. Your counselor may consult with other NTU providers about your situation in order to provide the best care possible, or for training purposes.
