Begin to write the content for your own informed consent as a Professional Counselor. Think of this as an abbreviated version focused only on the most salient points. Also, think about what clients need to know about being able to make an informed decision about receiving services.
Include a brief introduction of yourself reflecting your professional identity.
What does your client need to know if they are coming to you for services and are: a) a child and a parent of a child, b) a vulnerable adult, c) a part of a family or couple, and d) a new, incoming group member? It may be helpful for you to review the Remley and Herlihy text regarding the differences between these populations and their respective legal and ethical considerations.
Appendix B in the text has some examples of informed consent, but yours does not need to have as much detailed information.
Because this is your informed consent written in your own words, you do not need to include citations in your post, but please be sure to include a citation referencing the text or related articles in at least one peer response
