We are working diligently to keep up with the fast changing circumstances of the current pandemic and are trying to adjust our business practices accordingly. We continue to have your health and well-being as top priority.
We are re-opening our offices for in-person sessions starting Tuesday May 19th, 2020. Remote services (email, phone, or video counselling) are available to anyone not comfortable attending the office for in-person sessions.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE BOOKING YOUR NEXT APPOINTMENT.
We have instituted the following protocols to ensure the health and well-being of our staff and clients:
1. Vigorous cleaning and hygiene practices including – hand sanitizer for clients and clinicians to use upon entering the office and additional hand washing facilities for anyone’s use; physical distancing in reception and clinical office spaces; cleaning all common surfaces after each use, including children’s toys and games; wiping down seating areas, door knobs, etc.in clinical offices between each client.
2. We will NOT be requiring people to wear masks because our offices can accommodate appropriate physical distancing measures; if you wish to wear a mask in our office or during your appointment, please bring your own.
3. Staggered appointment times for clients to minimize more than one person in our reception area at any given time. We will have only three clinicians and our office manager in the office at a time, maintaining appropriate physical distancing measures. There will be no companions or guests allowed to wait in the reception area while you are in your appointment.
4. Clients are asked to come into the office right at their appointment time, no earlier.
5. Clients attending in-person will have to answer screening questions before their appointment, including – Do you have any symptoms (fever, cough, difficulty breathing)? Have you or someone in your home travelled outside Canada in the past 14 days? Have you been in contact with someone in the last 14 days who has had symptoms, tested positive for COVID-19, or is being tested or assumed presumptive? If any of these questions are answered with a YES, the client will need to continue with remote service options and will not be allowed to access in-person services until the answer to all above questions is NO.
6. Clients will be required to sign a consent form to disclose their NAMES and DATE OF CONTACT to the Saskatchewan Health Authority if we are required to release this information for contact tracing purposes.
7. All forms can be found on our website (top of home page, titled Client Forms) and can be downloaded and, once completed, can be emailed directly to reception@aspiretoo.ca, to minimize the exchange of paper materials.
8. Clients are encouraged to pay for services via e-transfer to minimize touching the payment machine; the payment machine will be disinfected after each use. We can also take credit card information to keep on file to decrease the number of people handling the payment machine. We will NOT accept cash or cheque payments.
9. An In-Person booking option is now available on our scheduling system found on our website. Remote services options remain available to anyone who wishes to access services remotely via email, phone, or video.
10. Michael Kluba, one of our clinicians, will only be offering remote services (email, phone, or video) for the foreseeable future as he works in hospital and is advised to minimize his contact with others.
11. In-Person appointments are available in Saskatoon, Melfort, and Prince Albert.
12. If you wake up ill or with symptoms on the day of your in-person appointment, contact our office as soon as possible and we will make alternate arrangements for your appointment. If you have any questions or concerns about this, contact our office or your counsellor directly.
Additionally, we are offering 30 minute phone or video check-in sessions for your convenience. As always, you can book your appointment or change your appointment by contacting the office or by using our online scheduling system found on our website.
