Parent-Guardian Consent for a Minor's Mental Health Services

Download the Parent-Guardian Consent for a Minor's Mental Health Services form to help establish criteria with parents for:

  • Services that are provided

  • Costs

  • Reasons for breaking confidentiality and mandatory reporting, and more.

    • TIP: Legally, only the parents must authorize services but it is crucial for the minor client to feel involved. This means the minor must understand and sign the consent form as well. Additionally, discussing informed consent often gives you a snapshot of the family dynamics. The therapist will have plenty of time alone with the child in future sessions. The intake is one of the best times to get the parent’s impressions and see how they interact as a family.
