In Colorado, or at least this is what I do, we have clients sign a mental
health collaborative agreement. In addition, I have clients sign a Colorado
Mandatory Disclosure Form, and a separate form for the release and exchange of
information.
While the mental health professional in a collaborative case is not doing
"therapy" per se, they are dealing with emotions and it is therapeutic.

From: "Lynda J. Robbins" <ljrobbinsesq@xxxxxxxxxxx>
A question has come up at our trainings with regard to the ethical obligation
of
MHP. If their ethical obligation is to treat emotional issues and they are
acting as facilitator or neutral coach and there are people in the room with
emotional issues not being addressed, is the MHP in violation of their
ethics?
In other words, how can a MHP NOT treat and not be in violation of ethics?
As an attorney, I can limit my representation of a client. I thought that
MHP
could also do so--is this correct?
Thanks for your assistance.
Lynda Robbins
