Cardinal Stritch University fosters the moral, spiritual, intellectual, cultural, emotional, social and physical development of each person. Students often encounter a great deal of stress during their academic experience.
The Center for Counseling and Mental Wellness can help you assess personal needs and make healthy life choices.

*Confidentiality
All medical records and client visits are confidential. No one can have access to patient records without the written permission of the individual. The staff at the counseling center can assist students outside the setting of the confidential counseling session with a variety of academic, family and environmental concerns only when the client signs a release of information for the counselor to address the area of concern. Confidentiality is broken only in cases where a client is likely to harm himself/herself, someone else, or jeopardize the welfare of the University.
