I understand coaching is not a substitute for medical, legal, financial, or psychological services, and that professional referrals will be given if needed. I are aware that I can choose to discontinue coaching at any time.
The minor client: I understands that coaching is a supportive, safe space, where I can ask questions at any time, and that I must participate voluntarily.

The minor’s privacy will be respected to build trust; however, coaches may provide general updates to the parent/guardian regarding progress, themes, or concerns.
