CONSENT FOR TREATMENT
I understand Christian Children’s Home of Ohio (CCHO)/Encompass Christian Counseling, Foster Care & Adoption
is a mental health agency certified through the Ohio Department of Mental Health to provide a wide range of mental
health services. I have received copies of the agency’s policy on payment of fees, statement of Client Rights and
Grievances, and Notice of Privacy Practices. I agree to the terms stated in those documents.
Benefits of mental health services may include improved ability to cope with problems of daily living, improved
relationships with others, skill development in areas such as communication and assertiveness, and growth in the areas
of personal goals and values. I understand that in order to resolve difficult life issues, treatment may involve discussion
of unpleasant experiences and explorations of painful feelings that can result in increased emotional strain. I
understand that review and consultation of my treatment including confidential information with supervisors is a
regular part of mental Health Services.
While I expect benefits from these services, I fully understand that, due to factors beyond Christian Children’s Home
of Ohio/ Encompass control or other factors, such benefits and particular outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
In consideration of the above information, I hereby consent to receive mental health services at Christian Children’s
Home of Ohio/ Encompass. I agree to fully inform the mental health professional providing service to me of the
nature of my problem(s) or concern(s) and to actively participate in the development and implementation of my
individual service plan. I further consent to the use and disclosure of my protected health information for payment
and healthcare operations purposes as outlined in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996
(HIPAA) and in the Notice of Privacy Practices. I understand that it is the policy of Christian Children’s Home of
Ohio to obtain the written permission of a client prior to disclosing protected health information for treatment
purposes.
In addition, my initials on items listed below, indicate my consent to the use of and awareness of CCHO’s limits of
liability, confidentiality and financial responsibility in regards to:
_____ Third Party Power of Attorney (obtain form to be notarized from receptionist) _____ My responsibility to notify co-parent or other custodial party of decision to treat a minor child as per any
legal agreement between parties. _____ Shared parenting: Either parent may give consent for their minor child if the parents are not divorced. If
the parents are separated, but have not completed court proceedings, then either parent may provide consent. If the parents are divorce, the parent that has legal custody or is the custodial parent of the minor should give consent. If all reasonable attempts have been to obtain consent from the custodial parent, and if the child is in need of medical treatment and a delay of care would result in an adverse outcome, the signature of the noncustodial parent may be obtained. In the effect of shared parenting (i.e., both parents have legal custody), the signature of either parent will suffice.
_____ The use of audio/video taping or observation window during client’s session for therapeutic use with client
or guardian. _____ The use of text, e-mail or cellular phone in delivery of services could compromise my confidentiality. _____________________________________________________________________________________
