Office Sick Policy November 2023

Please do not bring your child to the clinic if they are sick.

If your child is ill, we ask that you call the clinic or your clinician as soon as possible, yet we understand that there may be times when you need to make a last-minute call. There will never be a missed appointment fee due to sickness. Your child may return to therapy when they are symptom free for a minimum of 48 hours.

Although COVID guidelines have been eased, for the health and safety of our community, we ask families to note the following:

Regarding Exposure:

●  Call as soon as possible to let us know that your child has been exposed.

●  We can explore options for therapy such as telehealth, an outdoor session, or masking.

●  Current CDC guidelines recommend testing 5 days after exposure. A negative test in line with these recommendations prior to your child’s session is appreciated.

Positive test result or symptomatic
Cancel the session if your child tests positive or exhibits the following symptoms:

●  Fever, chills or shaking chills

●  Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath

●  New loss of taste or smell

●  Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea

●  Cough

●  Sore throat

●  Muscle or body aches

Cancel the session if the child exhibits a combination of the following symptoms:

●  Headache

●  Fatigue

●  Nasal congestion or runny nose

Peer Projects Therapy from the Heart is considered a medical facility. Please let us know if your child has any special risk factors or vulnerabilities and needs an accommodation of a masked setting, so we can be aware of and meet their needs.

We appreciate your attention to this matter and helping to keep us all healthy.
