The Chez Veterans Center provides counseling services for military-connected students (veterans, guard/reserves, and dependents). Veterans and their family members can experience intense challenges both in personal life and academics. Challenges often affect the entire family. Addressing the well-being and mental health of veterans and their family needs attention. The Center provides individual, marital, family, and group counseling directed at student veterans and their family. The Center’s counseling services have adapted provisions from the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the Illinois Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Confidentiality Act because they represent ethical standards in regards to privacy and confidentiality with protected health information.
