Counseling Center Policies

Telehealth Services

The Wayne State College Counseling Center is located in the Kanter Student Center, Room 103, 1111 Main Street, Wayne NE 68787. The telehealth services offered by WSC utilize Zoom Pro technology. Consent for telehealth services is valid for one year.

By consenting to counseling telehealth services, I understand that:

  • My counselor is licensed in the state of Nebraska to provide mental health services, and telehealth services are only available to students currently in Nebraska. 
  • I can decline the telehealth service at any time without affecting my right to future care or treatment, and any program benefits to which I would otherwise be entitled cannot be taken away.
  • I may have to travel to see a health care practitioner in person if I decline the telehealth service. 
  • The same confidentiality protections that apply to my other counseling care also apply to telehealth service.
  • I will have access to all counseling information resulting from telehealth service as provided by law.
  • The information from the telehealth service (images that can be identified as mine or other medical information from the telehealth service) cannot be released to researchers or anyone else without my additional written consent.
  • I will be informed of all people who will be present at all sites during my telehealth service. Typically, only your counselor will be on site.  We encourage you to also find privacy during your sessions.
  • I may exclude anyone from any site during my telehealth service.
  • I may be directed to be seen by a mental health or medical professional in person should an urgent need arise.
