Starfleet prioritizes the mental health of their personnel just as much as their physical health and it’s for this reason that the Counseling Department exists. Though their primary purpose is to support officers’ emotional well-being, they are also regularly asked by Command to produce reports on whether an officer is ready to return to duty.
Please feel free to use the report template below as a formal reporting on any counseling RP that your counselor character has recently performed. After you’ve posted your report to the topic, you may edit the first post in this topic to include the name of the officer and a link to the report you’ve added. If an officer has more than one report associated with them, add the link as a number. (e.g. Jal'Shan, Corsanolith 1, 2).
If you’d like to request a counseling appointment, the correct topic to use on the forums would be the Appointment Requests topic. Feel free to also ping the @counseling in Discord.

SUBJECT’S NAME:
INTERVIEW STARDATE:
PURPOSE AND CONTEXT OF EVALUATION
Psychological evaluations tend to fall in one of three categories.
Basic Profile Assessment: A holistic interview to develop familiarity and a baseline expectation of personality and behavior. These are “no stakes” evaluations where the counselor is looking to get to know the officer a bit better and to simply provide an account of meeting.
Counseling Routine Exam: The mental health equivalent of medical’s ‘physical’ exam, this interview checks on the general mental health and emotional wellness of the officer.
Psychological Fitness Evaluation: An interview requisitioned by a command authority to evaluate an officer’s fitness for duty and/or for command. These evaluations are more intensive and tend to focus on the specific incidents that led to the mandate. Evaluation results are often directly utilized by command authorities to assist in decisions regarding the officer’s career. Failure to meet certain standards in these evaluations may negatively impact an officer’s career in a variety of ways.

[font="Ubuntu Mono"]END OF EVALUATION.[/font]Please note that psychological evaluations are different from getting counseling / receiving therapy. Though sometimes counselors will offer advice/counsel in evaluations, true therapy and consultation appointments will be more involved, more focused on the ‘problems’ ailing the officer, and they do not necessarily result in filed reports.
