Health and Safety | 47 When a student is participating in a mentorship relationship with a member of the Cedarville University community, we will seek to maintain confidentiality. In group and individual mentorship settings, confidentiality is not guaranteed, as these are more informal relationships intended for spiritual growth. • Are there any limits to confidentiality? Yes, there are times when our counselors have to break confidentiality. These include: • If a student is a risk to their own life or the life of someone else. • If a minor or mentally challenged adult is being abused. • If we are subpoenaed by a judge to release a student’s records.
