In Alberta, parental consent is required for counseling youth under 18. In cases of divorce or separation, the consent needed depends on the custody arrangement: sole custody requires consent from the custodial parent, while joint custody typically requires consent from both parents. We will verify custody arrangements to ensure compliance with legal requirements.Our goal is to support your child while adhering to these guidelines and ensuring all necessary consents are obtained.
