Seeking mental health treatment will not have your FOID card taken. If a client or individual is seen by a clinician and is identified to pose “clear and present danger” to themselves or others, clinicians are obligated to notify the Department of Human Services  who will update their records and determine whether to revoke the person’s FOID card.

Our confidentiality policy indicates no one can have your information without your permission. This information would not come up with a background check and the information would not be available unless you provided written consent to release such information.

Records are kept on campus for 7 years before they are destroyed.

We cannot confirm or deny whether you see a therapist/counselor without your written consent. This includes spouses, parents, employers, etc. No one can know anything about you or your treatment from us, without written consent.
