For Parents & Family

College is a significant transition time for your child. It will likely be a period of intellectual stimulation and growth, career exploration and development, increased autonomy, self-exploration and discovery, and social involvement. The DU Health & Counseling Center is here to offer support, address concerns, provide direction to appropriate school resources, and help ease families through what can be a confusing and difficult transition period.
 

Contact Us

If you have a question about our services or how you can help your child connect with the Health & Counseling Center, give us a call during business hours at 303-871-2205 and ask to speak with a counselor. We are open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mountain Time.

If you urgently need to speak with someone outside of business hours, call us at 303-871-2205 and follow the prompts to speak to the counselor-on-call. We have counselors-on-call available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Health & Counseling Center Confidentiality Policy

Confidentiality is essential to the counseling relationship. Without written consent, we can not confirm or deny that a student has come to the Health & Counseling Center for a counseling session or disclose the name of their counselor. If you want to talk to your child's counselor, you must first talk to your child and ask them to sign a release of information form at the HCC.
