The safety of our patients, families, communities, and staff are very important. We ask that our patients/families make our staff aware of any dangerous or potentially dangers situations in my home or neighborhood.
We also ask that any weapons be unloaded and locked up during home visits.
We ask that no one participating in sessions or in the presence of the session be under the influence of illegal drugs and alcohol.
Our staff are mandated by law to report any abusive or neglectful behaviors to local authorities.
We are also mandated to warn others if they are considered to be at risk for any serious harm.
Staff cannot be left alone with children/adolescents in the home setting for more than 15 minutes.
If a situation arises where an adult cannot be present for a session, staff will transport the patient into the community setting for the duration of the session.
If this is not planned ahead of time, staff will make every attempt to contact the legal guardian via phone.
If the legal guardian cannot be successfully contacted (via phone or voicemail) a note will be left in the house detailing the community location and the time of return.
