A family needs scale assists the Tewa Roots staff in supporting families. Many families have needs for information about resources or direct support. If you wish, our staff are very willing to discuss these needs with you and work with you to identify resources that might be helpful. Listed below are some needs commonly expressed by families. Read the following statements and choose the option that best describes your need for support regarding each area and add any details that would be helpful for us to know.
Below the family needs assessment is the mental health assessment: This brief form will let us know about any mental health concerns you have about your child so that we can better work with them to support them. Please complete this form with them if possible, or have them complete it themselves. Below are examples of problems that people sometimes have. Please check whether each is NEVER true, SOMETIMES true, or OFTEN true for your child. When considering these questions please keep in mind what is typical for them. If you have noticed significant changes in the past 3-6 months in these areas choose the last box in addition to Never, Sometimes, or Always.
GROUP CONSENT
Understanding therapeutic group processing at Tewa Roots Society Therapeutic group processing can help you understand more about yourself and others in a safe environment. Tewa Roots Society Basecamp groups will use creative methods to explore building emotional regulation and coping skills, and expressing and processing emotions through art based activities, movement and breathwork, and other activities. We will explore topics together such as healthy relationships, communication skills, anger management, and building identity and resiliency. Group members will not be forced to share more than they are comfortable with, and will learn ways to support each other through difficult times. If at any time you feel uncomfortable or unsafe in the group, please let one of your facilitators know. Your facilitators are there to create a safe space and support you. Knowing the risks of group processing, there can be discomfort involved in participating in group processing. You may remember unpleasant events, or experience feelings of anger, fear, anxiety, sadness, frustration, loneliness, helplessness, or other unpleasant feelings. If these distressing emotions arise during your therapy, please talk with your group and with your group facilitator.
Group Member’s Agreement for Confidentiality All members of the group will be asked to agree to a high level of confidentiality in the group sessions. It is appropriate to share your personal reaction and feelings about the group with others, but we do not tolerate the sharing of other people’s stories with anyone outside of the group.
Confidentiality and Limitations Confidentiality of information conveyed in groups is highly important and honored by all personnel at Tewa Roots Society. Certain legal and ethical limitations to confidentiality must be acknowledged and addressed. Staff at Tewa Roots Society are expected to consult with other professionals regarding the group and/or seek supervision. Your information may be disclosed to third-party payers only when you have authorized such disclosure, such as paying for services through an insurance company. State law mandates the reporting of any suspected abuse or neglect of children or vulnerable adults. Mandatory reporting is also required for situations in which a client is at risk of ending their own life or the life of somebody else along with the disclosure of abuse of a minor, elder, or person with a disability. Mental health records may be legally subpoenaed, in which case a judge could require Tewa Roots Society to release client information. You may also request records be shared with other healthcare providers for coordination of care. This would require you to sign a release of information form. Provision of records may take up to 30 days.
“I have read, understood, agree to, and consent to the conditions of joining a Tewa Roots Society group outlined in this group consent form.”
