Client Contract

Kids Life Coach - Client Contract

This Contract needs to be read in its entirety and signed before we can begin.

Session Contact Method

All initial coaching sessions by Kids Life Coach are conducted virtually with client’s choice of communication. If the client resides in the Bismarck-Mandan, ND, area, the coach can do in-person visits.

Late for Sessions

If the client is more than 15 minutes late, we will reschedule. There are no reminders for sessions.

Missed Sessions

Please allow 24 hours to reschedule your session. Emergencies do happen and can be discussed. However, if a client misses two sessions, coaching will be reevaluated.

Teamwork

Please trust that the youth, parent, and coach are on the same team to work out solutions for the benefit of everyone involved. The coach works very hard to make this happen.

Confidentiality

The coaching relationship is built upon trust. As your coach, I will not disclose any information about you or your child to anyone without written permission from the parent. The exceptions to this rule are: a) if a child or parent discloses that he/she intends on hurting themselves or someone else, or b) any abuse or neglect is disclosed. In either of these cases, the coach has a legal and ethical duty to warn the parent and/or authorities. I will not release any personal information without the written consent of the parent/guardian unless mandated by law.

Storing Private, Personally Identifiable Information

Kids Life Coach complies with all legal requirements and professional conduct standards. I securely maintain coaching records for five years as required by Board Certified Coach regulations. Please ask the coach any questions you have about confidentiality.

Informed Consent or Basic Understandings

By accepting this contract, the parent understands that:

All comments offered by the coach to themselves and their youth are solely for aiding the youth and parent in achieving their identified purposes.
Coaching is not therapy. The coach will help both parties better understand their situation and their own strengths and abilities to help them resolve the issue they bring to the coach.
The coach is the owner of all coaching records in every form.
The coach will not respond to clients on social media to protect client confidentiality.
The coach and/or parent may choose to end the coaching relationship at any time.

Release of Liability

Parents release the coach from any liability, claim, suit, action, or compensation for damages that they believe arose from the coach or coaching relationship. This includes any actions, omissions, or commissions the parent or youth may believe came from the coach or coaching relationship. This understanding includes any agent representing the youth or parent.

I, the parent of the Client, have read, understood, and agree with all terms set forth in this Kids Life Coach Contract.

I agree to let the Coach document coaching hours to submit to the International Coaching Federation for annual coaching certification (optional).
