Thanks, Dr. Bob. That was interesting. I read through the suggestions quickly, and will go back and read them more carefully later. One thought I do have at this point regards the following item:
"Proxies
Some clients are not in a position to consent themselves to receive mental health services. In those cases, consent should be obtained from a parent, legal guardian, or other authorized party -- and the identity of that party should be verified."Because a counselor would be unable to confirm whether a client is a minor, what would the counselor's responsibility be if a minor portrayed him or herself as an adult?
Also, a question: The two organizations that are putting these suggestions together, how do they relate to the summit on internet health? Is the summit solely concerning provision of health services via email, or is it covering other internet health information services, too.
Finally, Dr. Bob, I am so impressed. You are doing so much. Do you ever have time to sleep?
