I hereby acknowledge that I have agreed to meet with my mental health practitioner (the “MHP”) at Acuity Counselling and Therapy Services Inc. (the “Facility”) for the purpose of receiving counselling or psychological sessions (the “Services”).

I acknowledge the contagious nature of the Coronavirus/COVID-19 and that public health authorities still recommend practicing social distancing.

I acknowledge that the Facility has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of the Coronavirus/COVID-19.

I acknowledge and accept that there is a risk that I could be exposed to the Coronavirus/COVID-19 while attending at the Facility.

I acknowledge that the Facility and the MHP can not guarantee that I will not become infected with the Coronavirus/Covid-19. I understand that the risk of becoming exposed to and/or infected by the Coronavirus/COVID-19 may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to, other Facility clients and their families.

I voluntarily seek services provided by the MHP at Acuity Counselling and Therapy Services Inc. and acknowledge that I am increasing my risk to exposure to the Coronavirus/COVID-19. I acknowledge that I must comply with all set procedures to reduce the spread while attending my appointment.

I also acknowledge and accept that while receiving services, the MHP may need to be closer than the recommended social distancing guidelines in order to assess and/or treat me. I acknowledge and confirm that I am willing to accept this risk as a condition of attending at the Facility to receive services from the MHP. I confirm that any questions that I had regarding the services during the pandemic have been answered by the MHP.
