We cannot disclose any information that you share during a crisis call without your written permission, except in the following situations:

• you are at clear, imminent risk of causing serious harm or death to yourself or another person
• there is suspected abuse or neglect of a child or vulnerable adult (e.g., an adult with a developmental disability)
• the records are court-ordered as part of an ongoing legal proceeding

In cases where we are legally or ethically obligated to break confidentiality, we share only the minimum required by law or to keep you or others safe. We also make every attempt to let you know in advance, and still seek your permission to do so.

When using crisis services, you may wonder what counts as 鈥渃lear, imminent risk of causing serious harm.鈥� There are several factors that we consider when determining this risk. Statements like, 鈥淚 wish I would get hit by a car鈥� or 鈥渕y brother is so annoying, I could just punch him sometimes,鈥� are typically not enough on their own to warrant breaking confidentiality.

Another good rule of thumb is that we only break confidentiality to protect鈥搉ot to punish. For example, we would not tell anyone if you attempted suicide five years ago, unless that history was directly related to your risk of attempting suicide in the near future.

When in doubt, call us. If you are unsure whether your situation is a crisis, you can let us know and we will help you figure it out. Sometimes, things like depression or trauma can trick us into thinking that our concerns are not important or that we would be burdening people if we reached out for help. Sometimes, we just go through situations that are stressful but not necessarily a crisis. Part of the process when we provide crisis services involves determining what resources might be helpful for you and how urgently you may need them

The short answer: Only in certain rare situations.

The longer answer: Some students worry that if they use crisis services or mention suicide, they鈥檒l be forced to go to the hospital against their will. In reality, mental health providers have an ethical鈥揳nd in some cases legal鈥搑esponsibility to provide care using the 鈥渓east restrictive means鈥� possible. In practical terms, this means that we usually try several other approaches before referring someone for hospitalization. In most cases, even if you鈥檙e thinking about suicide or self-harm, we鈥檒l be able to come up with a plan to keep you safe without going to the hospital. We also want your honest input on what kinds of services you feel you need. In nearly every case that we refer a student for hospitalization; this is done after the crisis counselor and student agree that hospitalization is the best option for them.

What is Sexual Assault?

Sexual Assault is any unwanted sexual contact imposed upon another person by use of force, fear, manipulation, or coercion. Sexual assault is defined as any sexual activity involving a person who does not or cannot (due to alcohol, drugs, or some sort of incapacitation) consent.

According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, "sexual assault can be verbal, visual, or anything that forces a person to join in unwanted sexual contact or attention."  Sexual assault is a broad term, and can describe many things, including:

• rape
• unwanted sexual contact (touching or grabbing)
• unwelcomed exposure of another's body or voyeurism
• child sexual abuse
• incest or molestation
• sexual harassment

Sexual assault is an act of power. This can be obvious, like in a situation where the perpetrator has a weapon.  Sexual assault can also occur when physical force or threat is used against the victim or someone the victim cares about. However, physical coercion or force is not always present or necessary.  In some sexual assault cases, the violence is more subtle, like when the perpetrator's age, size, or status is used to scare, trick, or manipulate the victim.

Anyone can be a victim of sexual assault. People of all ages, races, economic backgrounds, sexualities, and lifestyles have been victims. Males as well as females can be victims.
