[Wctcca] Client Diagnosis

[Caley Moyer]

Good morning Kendra and all,

The concern we have at Walla Walla CC is that we would be overwhelmed by students who would book appointments with the sole purpose of obtaining evidence for their Disability Support Service application. This could be problematic not only in taking appointment time away from other students, but the students obtaining DSS eligibility might be missing critical connection with their healthcare provider.
Just some thoughts!
Best,
Caley

Hello Folks!

For many years (longer than any of us have been working here) at Edmonds College there has been a policy that we cannot diagnose mental health disorders for our clients. We have been interested in changing this policy and are doing our best to get clear answers about this from our division and college legal. However, we were wondering how other college counseling centers in our state approach this? Do you diagnose at your center? Why or why not?

Any information is much appreciated!

Kendra
