1.
All Aging Center clinicians in training serve as clinical staff and receive on-going and intensive
supervision from qualified Licensed Psychologists and Licensed Clinical Social Workers. The
students in training at the Aging Center are not licensed in the State of Colorado. However, the
students in training follow the regulations set forth by the State of Colorado and the professional
ethics code.
2.
Recording of Clinical Sessions: Clients of the Aging Center are required to give signed consent for
the observation and recording of sessions to facilitate training needs and progress of therapy. The
information derived from observation or recording is not shared with anyone other than the Aging
Center staff members, in the context of professional consultation or supervision. The recording will
be erased following the supervisory or evaluation review.
3.
The practice of licensed or registered persons in the field of psychotherapy is regulated by the Mental
Health Section of the Division of Registrations. We encourage discussing any concerns or
complaints you might have directly with the provider of your services, the supervisor of such
services, or the Aging Center Director, Dr. Michael Kenny. You can also contact the Colorado State
Board of Psychologist Examiners at 1560 Broadway, Suite 1350, Denver, CO, 80202, Phone: 303894-7766.
4.
Other Important Information:
a. Feel free to ask any questions about techniques used, the duration of the procedure, the reason
for any of the policies outlined in this form, or fees for services, at any time.
b. You may seek a second opinion from another clinician or may terminate our services at any time.
c. In a professional relationship, sexual contact is never appropriate and should be reported
immediately to the State Board of Psychologist Examiners.
5.
Confidentiality: The information provided by you as a client or caregiver/legal guardian is legally
confidential. There are exceptions to this confidentiality. Primarily these include:
a. A judge’s order, in a court of law, to reveal information.
b. If you provide your clinician with information about child abuse or elder abuse or that you intend
to harm yourself or someone else, including those identifiable by their association with a specific
location or entity, she or he is required by law to reveal that information to the appropriate
authorities or individuals, and/or person(s) responsible for the specific location or entity.
c. As of July 1, 2014, individuals 70 and older are considered at risk and situations involving
suspected abuse, caretaker neglect, and/or exploitation, must be reported to local law
enforcement.
d. Others are listed in the Notice of Privacy Rights that was provided to you.
6.
Fees: Client fees are determined on a sliding scale. Should you fail to pay your bill and decline to
make arrangements to pay off an outstanding balance, we reserve the right to use appropriate
collection procedures, including the use of a collection agency or court action.
7.
Cancellations: Except in cases of emergency or illness, therapy appointments must be cancelled at
least 24 hours ahead of time. Failure to do so may result in billing for the missed appointment.
8.
If you anticipate needing to bring a family member who is a care recipient to the Aging Center, please
discuss your situation with your therapist beforehand if possible. The Aging Center is not able to
provide supervision of care recipients who are left in our lobby. If resources are needed to help you
obtain coverage for your family member while you participate in services at the Aging Center please
talk with your therapist who can assist you. If your care recipient must accompany you to your
session, any assistance needed by your care recipient will result in your session being interrupted and
possibly rescheduled.
9.
The Aging Center is not able to provide emergency or crisis services. If you have an emergency,
please go to the nearest hospital or emergency room, or call the local mental health crisis line (6357000). If you anticipate or are experiencing acute distress, you and your therapist may decide to
schedule extra sessions and/or a plan to have brief phone consultations.
10. Future Contact Regarding Quality of Services: The Aging Center also may wish to contact you by
mail and/or telephone to seek your opinions about the quality of services received at the Aging
Center. Your cooperation with this effort will contribute to our efforts to improve services and make
them more widely available. Please indicate if you wish to be contacted regarding quality of services:
_____ No contact
_____Yes, mail and/or phone
_____Yes, mail only

CAREGIVER PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT
1.
Caregiver Program Services are available at the Aging Center for six sessions with no charge,
partially by way of funding through Pikes Peak Area Agency on Aging. The actual cost to the Aging
Center of providing caregiver services to the community exceed $100 per session, to cover training
and supervision time. Cost of similar services, if available in the private community, would typically
be in the range of $75-$125 per session, per person. Tax deductible donations are welcomed and may
be made to The University of Colorado Foundation/Aging Center, 4863 North Nevada Ave., Suite
#321, Colorado Springs, CO 80918.
2. Client information may be shared between Center staff members in the context of professional
consultation or supervision. Also, Pikes Peak Area Agency on Aging provides funding in support of
the Center’s Caregiver program. Therefore, information about caregiver services you receive and how
effective they were is provided for the purposes of reporting and auditing through the Pikes Peak Area
Agency on Aging.
3. The Aging Center will consult with you about your family member based on information you provide.
Because the Center does not have a therapist-client relationship with that person, we are unable to
obtain medical or other information except through you.
RESEARCH DATA
1.
Use of Data for Research Purposes: With your permission, in order to advance the science of clinical
psychology, the data obtained from our services will be kept in a database and analyzed for research
purposes. All identifying information will be removed, so that it will be impossible to associate the
data with you. Participation in research is not required in order to receive services at the Aging
Center. Again, to ensure confidentiality, your name or other identifying information will not be
associated with the data. Examples of service data used in research are: test scores, types of services
received, ratings of service satisfaction, and levels of depression and anxiety. Please indicate if you
consent to the use of your data (which will not be associated with your identity):
_____Yes
2.
____No
Future Contact Regarding Opportunities for Research Participation: With your permission, you may
be contacted in the future and asked to participate in other research projects through the Aging
Center. On such occasion, you would be fully informed and asked for your consent to participate.
Participation in research is not required in order to receive services at the Aging Center. Please
indicate if you permit us to contact you in the future regarding participation in research projects:
_____Yes
____No
If you have questions regarding use of data for research, you may contact the principal
investigator and the Director of the Aging Center, Michael Kenny (719-255-8002). If you have
questions regarding your rights as a research participant or any concerns regarding use of your
de-identified data, you may report them – confidentially if you wish – to the UCCS Institutional
Review Board (719-255-3903).

Title: The UCCS Research Registry
Principal Investigator: Michele Okun, PhD
Funding Source: N/A
Introduction
UCCS and The Lane Center for Academic Health Sciences are actively seeking adults to participate in research studies.
To that end, we are collecting names to form a Participant Registry database. This form is designed to tell you everything
you need to think about before you decide to consent (agree) to be a part of this Registry. A member of the research
team will describe the process to you and answer any questions. It is entirely your choice. If you decide to take part,
you can change your mind later on and withdraw from the research registry. You can skip any questions that you do
not wish to answer.
This Database contains names of individuals who have expressed an interest in participating in research studies at UCCS.
If you decide to participate, we will record your name, and other demographic information such as gender, year of birth,
race, ethnicity, veteran/military status, phone number, email, and mailing address. Even if you decide not to provide all
of this information, you can still be added to the database.
Before making your decision:
 Please carefully read this form or have it read to you.
 Please ask questions about anything that is not clear.
Feel free to take your time thinking about whether you would like to participate. By signing this form you will not give up
any legal rights. If you are completing this consent form online, you may want to print a copy of the consent form for
your records.
Overview: We are asking your permission to put contact and minimal demographic information about you in a UCCS
Research Registry database. This research registry will allow UCCS investigators to find individuals, such as you, who
may want to take part in research. The information we are collecting includes basic information and other demographic
information such as gender, year of birth, race, ethnicity, veteran/military status, phone number, email, and mailing
address. We are asking all residents of the Pikes Peak region who are 18 years of age or older to participate.
Procedures: If you agree to participate in this research registry, your contact information will be provided to the
researchers who place a written request with the designated data manager. Only if you meet minimum eligibility
requirements, such as age or gender, will your contact information be provided to the researcher. You may then be
contacted by a researcher (via mail, phone or email) who will talk to you about a specific study. If you sign up for the
research registry, you can still refuse to take part in any (future) research study. If you decide to take part in any
research study, you must sign a separate consent form for that study.
Other people in this study: We are asking all residents of the Pikes Peak region (~300000) 18+ years if he/she would be
willing to be added to the Research Registry in order to be contacted for future research purposes.
Risks and Discomforts: We anticipate minimal risk or discomfort with this data collection. You may have concerns about
the information being collected and whether it can be connected back to you. In order to address this potential
discomfort/risk, we are not collecting any personal identifying medical information from you. You will have full access to

Protocol Number: 14-251
Version and Date Received: ROC(1) V1, 7/8/15
clinical services at any UCCS related clinic even if you do not wish to have your data used for research purposes.
Services are not contingent on agreeing to have information used for future research purposes.
Benefits: There are no anticipated benefits from being in this registry. However, if you do choose to participate in
specific research study from which your information was provided, you may realize direct benefit from that.
Compensation: Compensation is not provided for signing up for the registry.
Confidentiality: None of your contact information will be publicly available. All information will be maintained in a
password, encrypted database. Requesting investigators are likewise obligated to maintain your confidential
information. You will not be specifically identified in any publication of research results. Only the individual consenting
you and the Database Manager will be aware of your identity. Your information will be entered into a password
protected and firewalled database that is only accessible by the Data Manager.
Certain offices and people other than the researchers may have access to registry records.
Government agencies and UCCS employees overseeing proper study conduct may look at your registry records. These
offices include the:
UCCS Institutional Review Board
UCCS Office of Sponsored Programs
UCCS will keep any research records confidential to the extent allowed by law. A study number rather than your name
will be used on registry records wherever possible.
Registry records may be subject to disclosure pursuant to a court order, subpoena, law or regulation.
Voluntary Participation and Withdrawal from the Study
Taking part in this study is voluntary. You have the right to leave a study at any time without penalty. You may refuse to
do any procedures you do not feel comfortable with, or answer any questions that you do not wish to answer. If you
withdraw from the study, you may request that your research information not be used by contacting the Principal
Investigator listed above and below.
