Hanover College : Counseling Services : Intake Questionnaire

Intake Questionnaire

This Intake Questionnaire form must be submitted every academic school year prior to meeting with a counselor. It is important that you review the Client Rights, Client Responsibilites & Confidentiality sections carefully before submitting the form.

If you are currently experiencing thoughts of harm to self or others, please contact Campus Safety at 812-866-7999 or 911, who will connect you with resources immediately. You can also reach a qualified Crisis Counselor by dialing 988.

Client Rights:

You have a right to request a copy of records generated by our office. Typically, you will be asked to meet with your counselor to review the records before they are released to you.

You have the right to be treated with dignity and respect without regard to your race, color, religion, national origin, gender, age, sexual orientation, or disability.
You have the right to have your counselor explain the way in which your confidential mental health information will be handled and the limitations of confidentiality.
You have the right to request a specific counselor, request a different counselor than the one assigned to you, or ask for a second opinion.
You have the right to receive an appropriate referral for community mental health services if you request one or if your needs exceed what we are able to provide you.
You have the right to work collaboratively with your counselor in establishing treatment goals.
You have the right to ask questions about your counselor's qualifications, credentials, and theoretical orientation, as well as any counseling and testing techniques/procedures utilized.
You have the right to refuse or terminate treatment.
You have the right to review with your counselor the records in your personal file maintained by Counseling Services, including diagnosis and test results.

Client Responsibilities:

You should make every effort to arrive on time for appointments.
You should notify Counseling Services if you are unable to keep a scheduled appointment. Clients who consistently miss appointments without notification may have those services terminated or restricted.
You are expected to arrive for appointments without being under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Client Confidentiality:

Records maintained by Counseling Services are considered medical records and protected health information. As such, these electronic medical records are kept separate from all other student records. This means that what you tell or otherwise share with your counselor and the Counseling Services staff will remain confidential. Consultation with individuals or organizations outside Counseling Services, including faculty, family, or friends require your written consent. There are, however, some exceptions and limitations to confidentiality as required by law.

The most common limitations of confidentiality in counseling include imminent danger to self, duty to warn another person who may in danger, and suspected abuse or neglect of a child or elder.
