mental health TREATMENT SUMMARY FORM
(Confidential)

The individual listed above has applied to serve as a Peace Corps Volunteer and has reported a history of a mental health
condition, mental health counseling, or use of medication for mental health. The mental health provider who has oversight and
management of the applicant’s treatment, or has access to the applicant’s mental health records, should complete this mental
health treatment summary. If you do not have access to the appropriate records, please indicate this on the form.
Note to the Mental Health Provider: Please be candid when answering the questions below. During Peace Corps service, a
Volunteer may be placed in a community that is very isolated and remote. It may have a history of violence or high crime, or
extreme poverty, or inequitable treatment. There may be limited access to Western-trained mental health professionals and little
support for existing or new mental health symptoms. Please answer all questions or the form will be considered incomplete
and returned to the applicant.

regarding the management of this condition over the next three years? All recommendations will help determine
the best placement for the applicant as a Peace Corps Volunteer. Do you have any concerns that would prevent this

uninterrupted Peace Corps service provided these recommendations can be accommodated.

service. I recommend a period of stabilization for this condition and an updated assessment at a future date. Describe and
include length of time for stabilization:________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
