Mental Health Assessment Form Template
Document a structured mental health assessment that supports accurate diagnosis and care planning.
A mental health assessment creates the clinical foundation for everything that follows — diagnosis, treatment planning, and referral decisions. This form gives mental health clinicians a comprehensive template to document the assessment in a structured, replicable format.
The template covers presenting concerns and onset, symptom inventory across diagnostic categories, mental status examination observations, psychosocial history, trauma history, substance use assessment, risk assessment (suicidality, self-harm, harm to others), protective factors, and the clinical formulation and preliminary diagnosis.
Consistent assessment documentation supports continuity of care, supervision, peer review, and — when records must be shared — clear communication across providers.
An MSE is a structured observation of the client's current psychological functioning, covering appearance, behavior, speech, mood and affect, thought process and content, perceptions, cognition, insight, and judgment.
Yes. Include the PHQ-9 for depression, GAD-7 for anxiety, PC-PTSD-5 for trauma screening, and AUDIT-C for alcohol use, depending on the presenting concern. Document the tool used and the score.
Thorough enough to support a clinical decision. Document ideation frequency, intent, plan, means, and protective factors. A risk assessment that notes 'denies SI' without exploring further is insufficient.
A licensed mental health clinician or supervised trainee under appropriate supervision. The scope and tools should reflect the clinician's training and licensure scope.
A comprehensive assessment is typically done at intake. Brief re-assessments occur at regular intervals — every 90 days is common — or when there's a significant change in presentation or risk.

Bank Reference Form
A reference request faxed to a bank branch and left sitting in a queue for weeks isn't the kind of turnaround a landlord or business can wait on. Collect the applicant's signed authorization and the specific details you need confirmed before the request even reaches the bank, so a decision isn't stuck behind a letter that hasn't come back yet.

X-Ray Release Form
A phone call asking to send X-rays to a new provider isn't an authorization your compliance file can rely on. Collect patient information, the receiving provider's details, and a signed authorization before the images go out, so your front desk isn't scrambling to prove who approved a release.

Bar Inventory Form
A bottle count eyeballed at the end of a shift and scrawled on a paper sheet doesn't hold up against a pour cost report that says something doesn't add up. Collect what your bar actually needs, item, count, and variance, on a schedule you can actually compare week to week.

Equipment Inventory Form
Equipment that leaves a storage room in someone's arms, with no note about where it went, doesn't show up again until someone needs it and can't find it. Collect what your team actually needs, item details, condition, and who's got it, every time something moves.

Nationality Verification Form
A self-certification buried in a stack of new account paperwork isn't the kind of record a compliance team can rely on for a regulatory filing. Collect nationality, tax residency, and a signed declaration before an account opens, so compliance isn't chasing down a customer's citizenship status after the fact.
