Practice tools built around marriage and family therapy
Participant consent and identified-client records
Organize how the practice explains participation, consent, communication, and records. Specialty resources and worksheets help you distinguish participants from the identified client and record the questions that need professional or payer confirmation for the service you offer.
Changes in family participation
Use participant-change planning to prepare for additions, departures, and changing communication needs. Connect those changes to intake, consent review, access responsibilities, and documentation workflows so your practice has a process for revisiting earlier decisions.
Multi-participant intake
The Multi-Participant Intake Builder helps organize participants, roles, communication preferences, and intake responsibilities at the practice level. Pair it with policy builders, team onboarding, and patient education to make the beginning of care easier to explain.
