Does a parent need to be present for the student to receive services?
At Solvista health, we believe the involvement of a supportive adult (parent/guardian/caregiver) in a young person’s mental health care is important to help achieve the best therapeutic outcome. Family therapy, along with individual therapy, are key components of mental health care for children and youth. Colorado State law allows students 12 years and older to seek and consent for behavioral health services on their own. In these circumstances, the clinical therapist will provide supportive services in addition to encouraging the youth, when appropriate, to involve a supportive adult (parent/guardian/caregiver).
