Can all students with parent permission be seen at the SBHC?
Submitted by bschoff on Wed, 12/30/2009 - 3:56pm
Students must have a consent form signed by their parents or guardians to access school-based health center services. Students may be seen one time to discuss needs without parent permission. Colorado law allows for youth age 15 or older to access mental health services without parent consent. Colorado law allows for the dispensing of contraception to minors (no age in statue) without parent consent. Reproductive health care including contraception is considered to be the standard of care for adolescents. Although the SBHC is allowed by law to provide contraceptive services without parent permission we will respect any parent’s lack of consent.
