I, the undersigned, understand and agree to the following:

1. Scope of Service. Stronghold is a coaching platform focused on forward-looking behavioral growth and personal development. It is not a substitute for clinical mental health treatment, medical care, psychiatric services, or crisis intervention.

2. Assessment Purpose. The Stronghold Assessment measures behavioral patterns, relational dynamics, and life-domain strain. It does not constitute a clinical diagnosis. Higher scores indicate areas of strain or difficulty — not a permanent condition or fixed identity.

3. Dual-Track Agreement. If my assessment identifies high-risk areas (scores ≥65 in clinical domains), I agree to seek consultation with a licensed mental health provider as a condition of continued coaching. I understand that my coach will not treat, diagnose, or provide clinical therapy for flagged areas.

4. Mandatory Reporting. Confidentiality has limits. If information shared in assessment or coaching sessions reveals a credible threat of harm to myself or others, or evidence of child abuse or neglect, my practitioner is legally and ethically obligated to report to appropriate authorities per Oklahoma state law.

5. Emergency Protocol. Stronghold is not a crisis service. If I am in immediate danger, I understand I must contact 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), 911, or go to the nearest emergency room. Stronghold cannot provide emergency intervention.

6. Data & Confidentiality. My assessment data is stored securely and will not be shared with third parties without my written consent, except as required by law or mandated reporting obligations.

7. Voluntary Participation. I understand that participation in coaching is voluntary and I may discontinue at any time. Stopping coaching does not release me from any obligation to seek clinical care if flagged areas have been identified.
