4. Telehealth Services
One Small Step provides services by telehealth. Telehealth means services may happen by phone or video, and sometimes by text. Telehealth can make it easier to get support. It also has risks.
Telehealth risks may include:
- Technology problems
- Dropped calls or lost connection
- Privacy risks, even when safeguards are used
- Less ability to help in an emergency
- Problems if your location is unknown or wrong
Try to be in a private and safe place during services and provide your correct location during services. This is important if there is a safety concern or an emergency. You may also stop communication with One Small Step or stop One Small Step services.
5. Safety and Emergencies
One Small Step is not an emergency service. One Small Step does not provide crisis services, emergency services, medical care, in-person care, or behavioral health observation or stabilization services.
Call 911 if there is an emergency.
Call or text 988 if you are in a crisis or thinking about harming yourself or someone else.
During services, One Small Step may ask where you are if there is a safety concern. We may also ask you to contact 911, 988, a trusted support person, your health home, or another emergency resource.
If emergency help is needed, One Small Step may contact 911 or another emergency resource. We may use the location you gave us or another known location, if available. If we cannot reach you during a safety concern, we may contact your health home, emergency resources, or other support, when needed.
6. Stop Services or Communication
You may stop One Small Step services or communication at any time. You may also withdraw consent for services.
To stop services or communication, you may:
- Tell your Peer Support Specialist
- Use the OSS app, if available
- Contact One Small Step at 520-201-3785
- Contact your health home, if needed
If you stop services, One Small Step may document this and may notify your health home, when needed. You may be able to start services again later. This depends on your eligibility, authorization, health home coordination, and One Small Step's scope of services.
7. Privacy and Confidentiality
One Small Step protects your privacy by keeping your information private as required by law and policy. Your information may be used in the OSS app, approved communication systems, OSS internal systems, your health home's electronic health record, or other approved systems.
One Small Step may use your information for providing peer support services, coordinating care, quality review, billing support, compliance, working with your health home, or other reasons allowed or required by law.
You may ask how to get your records. If your records are kept by your health home, One Small Step may direct you to that partner's records process.

8. Language and Communication Help
One Small Step wants you to understand your services and your rights. You may ask for language help or communication help.
Help may include an interpreter, written information in another language, sign language help, large print, other formats, or help for hearing, vision, speech, or other needs.
To ask for help, contact: contact@onesmallstep.io
If One Small Step does not have the help you need, we may work with your health home or another approved resource.
9. Health Care Directives
You may receive information about One Small Step's policy on health care directives. A health care directive is a document that tells others what health care choices you want if you cannot speak for yourself.
Having or not having a health care directive does not affect your access to One Small Step services. One Small Step does not give legal advice and does not make decisions for you.
If you want help with a health care directive, One Small Step may give general information or direct you to your health home or another resource. You are responsible for getting legal advice if you want it.
10. Service Closure and Starting Again
One Small Step may close your services when services are no longer needed, requested, available, appropriate, or authorized.
Services may also close if:
- You ask to stop services
- You do not respond to outreach
- You are no longer eligible for services
- Your needs are outside One Small Step's scope
- Your health home says services should end
- You move to another provider or service
- Another billing, contract, safety, or compliance reason applies
One Small Step may try to contact you before closing services. You may be able to start services again later. This depends on your eligibility, authorization, health home coordination, and One Small Step's scope of services.
