Many counselors can not continue meeting with their client during the program if they are attending a summer program out of state because when they cross state lines they do not have a license to practice counseling in that state. However, there are some counselors do allow for FaceTime meetings or phone calls. If the participant can continue meetings with their counselor over the summer we highly recommend that they continue meeting.

YMCA of the RockiesSnow Mountain Ranch-YMCA Some program locations, such as the YMCA of the Rockies (Reliant's LT summer program in Winter Park Colorado) offer counseling services available to their staff (all LT program participants are hired by the YMCA so would all have this resource in this program location). For this summer program, any participant could access Mind Springs Health Granby during their Open Access hours to initial treatment/therapy. https://www.mindspringshealth.org/treatment-services/locations/granby/

Reliant's usual condition for emotional concerns is to ask the participant to meet with a summer program leadership for a certain number of weeks over the summer to check in and see how they are doing. Typically the summer program leadership meeting with the participants are not licensed counselors. Because of this, Reliant recommends the local summer program leadership review the information below to become familiar with what constitutes an involuntary commitment/mandatory treatment for a person to receive emergency psychiatric care (often resulting in hospitalization) if necessary. This is only if the person themselves does not voluntarily admit themselves and is deemed a danger to themselves (typically in the case of thoughts of suicide.) We want to make sure the program leadership is aware of when they would need to contact law enforcement if ever such an occasion should arise.
