This **Medical Decision-Making Counseling Intake Form** helps mental health professionals, social workers, and patient advocates gather the essential information needed to support clients through these difficult conversations. #### Designed for healthcare counselors and patient advocates Whether you're a therapist specializing in medical trauma, a hospital social worker, a palliative care counselor, or a private practitioner supporting clients through health crises, this template streamlines your intake process. It covers medical history context, current decision-making needs, family dynamics, values assessment, and end-of-life preferences in one thoughtful, organized form. #### Capture what matters most This form goes beyond basic contact details to explore: - **Current medical situation and decision points** clients are facing - **Treatment options being considered** and concerns about each path - **Personal values and priorities** that should guide medical choices - **Family involvement and dynamics** affecting the decision-making process - **Advance care planning** and end-of-life preference discussions - **Cultural, spiritual and religious considerations** that influence care choices - **Mental health support needs** around anxiety, grief, or decision paralysis #### Sensitive, secure and compliant Built on Paperform's SOC 2 Type II compliant platform, your client intake data is encrypted and stored securely.
