Consent for Services - Behavioral Support Specialist (QMHA)

This document is an addendum to the Consent for Services.

Entry

As part of my request for services with Center for Family Development (CFD), I authorize clinical staff to provide Behavioral Support Specialist (BSS) services.
I may ask questions at any time.
I understand that the BSS assigned is not a therapist, and concerns regarding the well-being of family members are to be discussed with the therapist.
My request for services from CFD is voluntary and I may discontinue at any time.

Treatment for Adolescents

If I am an adolescent age 14 or older, I have the right to access services without consent from my parent/guardian.
My parent/guardian will be involved before the end of services unless they refuse or there are clear clinical reasons not to involve them, which will be documented in my record.

Risks and Benefits

There may be periods during services that may result in emotional discomfort, changes in relationships, and temporary worsening of symptoms. The goal and intended benefit of services and supports is the resolution of the presenting problem.
I understand that the possibility of physical injury exists during participation in many recreational events.
I give permission for my child to participate in the activities indicates below with their BSS on an ongoing basis.

Canoeing at Alton Baker Park Roller/ice skating Rock climbing wall Skateboarding Hiking Other I decline to authorize permission for any of the above activities

If other, please describe:

Transportation

I give permission for the BSS to provide transportation in their personal vehicle when necessary.
I and my child agree to follow the safe practice guidelines outlined in Oregon's Occupant Protection Law regarding car seats, booster seats, and/or safety belt systems.

Supervision

The BSS is supervised by a Clinical Supervisor.
I may access the therapist and BSS's immediate supervisor upon request should I experience concerns or wish to express a grievance.
I understand that the BSS assigned will maintain a confidential relationship within the supervisory process.

Mandatory Reporting

I understand that if my child should report engaging in, or threatening to engage in, any life-threatening activities, the parent/guardian would be notified as soon as is practicable. I further understand that the BSS will not use physical force, or physical means to restrain, except in immediate life-threatening situations.
I understand that if my child leaves during an interaction with a BSS, they may not be stopped and that the parent/guardian will be notified of their departure as soon as reasonably practicable.
If, during services, I and/or my child reveal to the BSS past or threatened abuse of a person who is in a protected category, whether that person is ourselves or another individual, the BSS must disclose and report such information as required by Oregon law. Individuals in the protected categories are children, elderly persons, developmentally disabled persons, and persons receiving mental health services covered by Oregon Health Plan or other public funding.
If my child threatens to harm themselves or others, CFD is required to intervene, which may include a report to the appropriate agency and/or authority.
In the event of threatened harm to any individual, the BSS may warn the intended victim(s) by the most efficient means available.

Release of Information

The BSS may share information disclosed by the child with the parent/guardian, therapist, and clinical supervisor.
The BSS works collaboratively with a therapeutic team which includes my child, the parent/guardian, therapist, and psychiatric services provider (if applicable), to address behavioral health needs.
In cases of medical emergency, CFD may access emergency medical treatment on my child's behalf. Information may be released to the attending emergency workers and will be limited to only information that is necessary to resolve the situation. Any information shared will be documented in my child's record.
If an additional child (e.g., friend or relative) is to accompany the BSS and my child for a session, written permission will need to be obtained in advance from the parent/guardian of the additional child.
If a child abuse investigation is being conducted, CFD is required under Oregon law to permit the investigating agency to inspect and copy records of the child involved in the investigation without the consent of the child or the parent/guardian of the child.

Scheduling and Cancellations

I agree to keep scheduled appointments with the BSS.
I will provide at least 24 hours advance notice if we need to cancel an appointment.
I understand if my child misses multiple appointments, BSS services may be discontinued.

General Information

The BSS can:

Notice and reinforce positive behaviors.
Reinforce the process of learning/practicing/utilizing new skills.
