Faculty, Parents & Staff
How can we help students in distress? We have helpful guides outlining recognizing signs of concerning and critical situations, infographics on valuable resources and emergency referral information.
How do I make an appointment for a student?
Students need to call to make an appointment for themselves. Students can also walk in for a consultation or schedule their appointments between 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m, Monday-Friday.
Students have the option to use TELUS 24/7 mental health and wellbeing support.
Can I access the student's mental health information?
All Counseling Center records are confidential in accordance with Iowa mental health law. Student records can only be released to a third party with a student’s written consent.
Confidentiality & Privacy
Information shared by you in counseling sessions is confidential and is protected to the full extent of the law. Information will not be disclosed to anyone outside the center without your written permission except when, in the judgment of your counselor, such disclosure is necessary to protect you or someone else from imminent danger or when otherwise required by law.
We are unable to provide counseling or psychological advice by email, but we encourage you to call the Counseling Center at 319-273-2676 if you wish to arrange to speak with a counselor.
Faculty and staff seeking counseling services are encouraged to utilize the UNI Employee Assistance Program.
