WAIVERS & UNCONDITIONAL PROGRAM RELEASES
I RECOGNIZE that the reason I am attending BridgePoint is due to my eating disorder, which by its very nature threatens my life. I therefore intend to relinquish my legal rights to the extent that I intend to fully assume the risks for any injuries or physical harm that may come to me for the duration of my stay at BridgePoint.
I HEREBY REMISE release and forever discharge BridgePoint and the Saskatchewan Health Authority from any liability, actions, suits, damages, claims or judgments that may result from any injury to my property or person for any reason whatsoever, including but not limited to any act or omission of BridgePoint or its agents, whether negligent or otherwise.
I AM VOLUNTARILY participating in residential programming by BridgePoint. I am signing this document of my own free will.
CONSENT NO SELF-HARM CONTRACT
I agree that should I experience feelings of wanting to physically hurt myself during my stay at BridgePoint, I will approach a BridgePoint team member for support prior to carrying out such actions. I understand that the BridgePoint team, in consultation with me, will implement measures to ensure I remain physically safe until such time that I am verbally and physically able to demonstrate no further thoughts of self-harm. Such safety measures may include:
- Allowing staff to monitor me until such time as my feelings and behaviors of self-harm are able to be controlled by me;
- Transfer to hospital via emergency medical services if my needs, as assessed by BridgePoint team members, are determined to be too acute to manage at BridgePoint. This contract will remain valid during my entire stay(s) at BridgePoint.
CONSENT PROGRAM PARTICIPATION
I consent to participate in all programming offered during my residential stay(s) at BridgePoint. In giving my consent, I agree to abide by and follow all walls and boundaries governing the operation of the program. I also agree to participate in all program activities in facilitating my recovery process to the best of my ability. I am aware that BridgePoint is not responsible for loss or damage sustained to any personal property I bring with me to the program.
ADULT CONSENT FOR MEDICAL TREATMENT
BridgePoint Center Inc. (herein after referred to as "BridgePoint") in Milden, Saskatchewan, utilizes physician, hospital and ambulance services in Outlook and Rosetown. Transportation to larger centers occurs only when the local community cannot adequately meet services, or when specifically requested by the individual receiving treatment. Individuals attending BridgePoint Programs are fully responsible for the cost of their personal medications whether covered under insurance plans or not.
I give consent to BridgePoint to utilize their community physician to provide for my routine health care needs while attending BridgePoint programs. In the event I require emergency medical treatment, I give consent to be treated at either the Outlook or Rosetown Hospital.
I am aware that I am responsible for all financial costs incurred for ambulance service and/ or other approved transportation. I give consent to only being stabilized at Outlook or Rosetown Hospital, and then transferred as soon as possible to the hospital of my choice for further treatment. I am aware that I am responsible for all financial costs incurred for ambulance service and/or other approved transportation. When Outlook or Rosetown hospitals are unable to accommodate our needs, I give consent to treatment at other health facilities in the SHA as discussed on a case by case basis with BridgePoint and Mental Health and Addictions Services.
