Counselling/Support Services<br />
<strong>Providence</strong> University <strong>College</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Seminary</strong> is connected to a diverse group<br />
of male <strong>and</strong> female counsellors, available both on <strong>and</strong> off campus. You may<br />
want to seek this counselling support for a variety of concerns. Examples<br />
include depression, anxiety, pornography, relationship issues, eating disorders,<br />
sexual identity confusion, abuse, spiritual confusion, grief, addiction, marriage<br />
counselling, or various mental health issues. Sponsored by the <strong>Seminary</strong><br />
Counselling Department <strong>and</strong> <strong>Student</strong> Development Department, <strong>Providence</strong><br />
offers a free <strong>and</strong> confidential assessment service. An on-campus counsellor<br />
(Intake Counsellor) will provide a brief assessment <strong>and</strong> then refer you to an<br />
appropriate counsellor. Financial aid is available.<br />
By law <strong>and</strong> professional ethics, any counselling/intake sessions are strictly<br />
confidential. No information will be given out to anyone unless you sign a written<br />
consent for release of information. Any instances where this may happen would<br />
be discussed with you thoroughly before h<strong>and</strong>. The following exceptions apply:<br />
• Children, elderly, <strong>and</strong> dependent adults must be protected. A counsellor is<br />
legally <strong>and</strong> ethically required to report abuse of a vulnerable person.<br />
• Your life <strong>and</strong> the lives of others must be protected. If a counsellor has<br />
reason to believe your life or the life of someone else is in danger, he/she<br />
is obligated to discuss this with you <strong>and</strong> take appropriate action to ensure<br />
safety.<br />
• In certain limited circumstances, a counsellor may be required by law to<br />
disclose what would otherwise be confidential information, such as if he/she<br />
were served with a court order.<br />
A student may be required to withdraw from <strong>Providence</strong> University <strong>College</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />
<strong>Seminary</strong> if that action is deemed warranted after medical or psychological<br />
evaluation, if the student poses a threat to himself/herself, the community, or its<br />
members, or in the event that a student refuses to receive evaluative testing or<br />
counselling when asked to do so.<br />
