Working together
School and care team
The adults around your child can work from one plan, when you say so.
With your written permission, we can speak with your child's therapist, pediatrician or school counselor, and send a letter about your child's care. You choose who, and what is shared, and you can change your mind.
At a glance
Permission: a parent's written consent, for each person
Teens are told before anything is shared
Letters: written on request
How it works
You stay in charge of who hears what.
Step 1: You sign the permission
A short form names the person and what we may share with them.
Step 2: We tell your teen
Before we speak with anyone, your teen knows what will be said.
Step 3: We share what is needed
The medicine plan and what to watch for, not word-for-word notes from a session.
Step 4: You can stop it
Tell us in writing and we stop. The person we spoke with is told only that permission has ended.
What this is not
Not a school placement report
We do not decide services or accommodations; the school does.
Not a custody or court letter
We do not write for custody or court.
Not a weekly update
We speak with a therapist or school when it helps the plan, not on a fixed schedule.
Questions
Questions about school and care team
Can you talk to my child's therapist?
Yes, with your written permission. We can also suggest therapists if your child does not have one.
Will the school know my child sees a psychiatrist?
Only if you tell them or sign permission for us to. We do not contact a school on our own.
Can you write a letter for school?
We can write a letter about your child's care on a parent's written request. We do not write evaluations for placement decisions.
Want to bring your child's team in?
Write to us, and we will send the permission form after the first session.
