If you are just beginning the therapy journey…

If you or a family member are being referred for treatment or therapy for the first time, the process can feel overwhelming.

Every professional you interact with will ask what you want, but it can be hard to know when you don’t know what your choices are or what questions to ask.

To help you think through some of the most common questions you will encounter as you start the therapy process, we have developed the RAIN Approach for Clients & Families. Click here for a copy of the form you can take with you to appointments.

If you are changing therapies or providers…

You or your family member may want things to go differently this time. You may really need your providers to hear what is important to you. You can use the RAIN Approach for Clients and Families as a conversation starter with your new team to make sure your or your family member’s needs are being met.
