Event Description
When is a Counselor not a Counselor at your Community College?
Resolving Confidentiality Issues for College Counselors, Faculty and Administrators
Today's community colleges employ a number of individuals who may be considered "counselors" yet serve in a variety of capacities. Even the terms "counselor" and "counseling" have taken on many meanings - Academic, Career, Personal, Disability Services and Mental Health treatment - are just a few that define the roles and areas that muddy the water in dealing with student's information. Add to that the mandated or encouraged reporting to Behavioral Intervention Teams, Threat Assessment Teams and Student Conduct Offices and the potential for an ethical, moral and legal mess increase for those who serve students (and sometimes faculty and staff) in grey areas regarding confidentiality, privilege and privacy. This webinar will help those professionals answer the questions that arise when FERPA, HIPPA, licensure requirements and potential personal, professional, and institutional liability seem to be in conflict.
Webinar content is specific to community colleges
This webinar will assist participants to develop a
- Better understanding how of FERPA, HIPPA and privilege intersect on their campus
- Identify who are the counselors on their campus and what level of privilege applies to each
- Examine and refine job descriptions, procedures and protocols to accomplish institutional goals and missions while complying with the laws regarding confidentiality
- Improve communication between staff and Behavioral Intervention Teams/Threat Assessment Teams on campus, as well as other campus partners.
