Please create a discussion thread specifically answering all parts of the prompt below.
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? Note: 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.
Please read Chapters 13 and 14 before class to help ensure you get the most from our time together. Please come prepared to ask questions about the content and be ready to apply what you learned to different ethical scenarios and classroom discussions.
