Behavioral Health Intake and Consent Videos from Approved Documents

The direct answer: Help new clients understand their first visit before they arrive, with a calm, practice-specific video built from your intake materials. Golpo is the production workflow. Start from the approved packet, the telehealth checklist, an approved script, or a clinician's own recording. Golpo drafts the narration in Prompt Mode, plans the scenes, designs the visuals, and outputs the video. Edit script before creating video is where the practice approves the words before the render.

This guide is for behavioral-health groups, therapy practices, community mental-health organizations, and telebehavioral programs. The job is arrival logistics: which forms to complete, how confidentiality is explained, how the video visit starts, and why the team uses check-in questionnaires. The four videos below were each generated in Golpo from the document beside them. For those four renders, no narration script was supplied. You can open the PDF, read the brief, and compare the finished video with both.

What the client needs before they arrive

• The first hour often begins with forms, privacy choices, a platform login, and a payment question.
• Confidentiality language has listed limits. Those sentences have to match the form the client will sign.
• A check-in questionnaire is easier to complete once someone has said what the score is for, and that a clinician reads it.
• Staff repeat the same arrival briefing for every new client. A reviewed video can carry that briefing beside the blank packet.

Keep the jobs separate, the way the four examples do. A welcome covers the first visit. A second video covers the privacy process. Telehealth setup and the questionnaire explainer are their own pieces. None of them is diagnosis, therapy, or a substitute for the signed consent.

Four real document-to-video examples

Build this video entirely from the attached document. Title it: What Happens Before Your First Therapy Visit. Explain the intake forms, screening measures, record requests, arrival options, payment questions, and first-visit flow. Write the narration yourself from the attached document. No narration script has been supplied. Do not introduce any fact, figure, date, name, instruction, recommendation, legal conclusion, clinical interpretation, benefit, or outcome that is not in the document. Do not soften or strengthen its wording. The document is a clearly labelled fictional specimen, so describe its organizations, people, identifiers, and values as illustrative rather than real.

Use a private folder metaphor and show optional versus required fields exactly as marked. Never reveal or infer a diagnosis. FIGURE LOCK: every number, date, identifier, threshold, amount, dose, score, time, temperature, visit window, phone number, and code shown or spoken must be copied from the attached document. Never invent a placeholder or rounded value.

Build this video entirely from the attached document. Title it: Confidentiality and Its Limits. Explain the consent guide's confidentiality rule, listed exceptions, communications choices, records process, and acknowledgment. Write the narration yourself from the attached document. No narration script has been supplied. Do not introduce any fact, figure, date, name, instruction, recommendation, legal conclusion, clinical interpretation, benefit, or outcome that is not in the document. Do not soften or strengthen its wording. The document is a clearly labelled fictional specimen, so describe its organizations, people, identifiers, and values as illustrative rather than real.

Use nested boundaries around the care conversation. Quote legal and emergency boundaries without paraphrasing them more broadly. FIGURE LOCK: every number, date, identifier, threshold, amount, dose, score, time, temperature, visit window, phone number, and code shown or spoken must be copied from the attached document. Never invent a placeholder or rounded value.

Build this video entirely from the attached document. Title it: Preparing for a Telebehavioral Visit. Explain privacy setup, technology check, location confirmation, backup plan, interruptions, and urgent-situation routing. Write the narration yourself from the attached document. No narration script has been supplied. Do not introduce any fact, figure, date, name, instruction, recommendation, legal conclusion, clinical interpretation, benefit, or outcome that is not in the document. Do not soften or strengthen its wording. The document is a clearly labelled fictional specimen, so describe its organizations, people, identifiers, and values as illustrative rather than real.

Build a room-and-device checklist. Use only the platform, numbers, timing, and fallback steps in the document. FIGURE LOCK: every number, date, identifier, threshold, amount, dose, score, time, temperature, visit window, phone number, and code shown or spoken must be copied from the attached document. Never invent a placeholder or rounded value.

Build this video entirely from the attached document. Title it: Why Your Care Team Uses Check-In Questionnaires. Explain when the questionnaires are sent, how scores are used, what they do not mean, and how a clinician reviews change over time. Write the narration yourself from the attached document. No narration script has been supplied. Do not introduce any fact, figure, date, name, instruction, recommendation, legal conclusion, clinical interpretation, benefit, or outcome that is not in the document. Do not soften or strengthen its wording. The document is a clearly labelled fictional specimen, so describe its organizations, people, identifiers, and values as illustrative rather than real.

Show a trend without diagnosing it. Use the fictional specimen scores exactly and state that a score is not a diagnosis. FIGURE LOCK: every number, date, identifier, threshold, amount, dose, score, time, temperature, visit window, phone number, and code shown or spoken must be copied from the attached document. Never invent a placeholder or rounded value.

The controls that make the welcome feel like your practice

The four videos are document drafts in the engines and styles named on each card. The intake and telehealth examples use Canvas Compact, so related steps share a scene. The confidentiality example uses Sketch Formal, which suits a careful reading of limits. To make the next one practice-specific, add the controls below. Plan gates are on pricing.

• Draft from the approved packet. In Prompt Mode, upload the blank intake packet and let Golpo write the narration. You do not have to script and storyboard the welcome before Golpo starts. The draft is a reviewable starting point. Compare it with the packet before you treat a scene as final.
• Script Mode for approved consent sentences. When a confidentiality exception, an acknowledgment line, or another approved sentence must be spoken as written, paste that narration in Script Mode. About 1,050 characters correspond to a selected minute. Drawing directions belong in Video Instructions, not in the spoken sentence. See Prompt Mode and Script Mode.
• On-screen text from the script. On Canvas and Sketch, this keeps generated labels inside the script source. Golpo may show a subset of the words. Use it when the on-screen name of an exception has to stay inside the approved vocabulary. It is not a caption track, and it is not a check that the label matches the form. See on-screen text from the script.
• A calm generated voice. Voice Instructions, on Creator and higher, direct tone, pace, emphasis, and pronunciation: unhurried, plain, and clear on the practice name. They shape generated narration. They do not clone a clinician, and they do not restyle an Own Narration recording.
• Custom Style for the practice look. Create a named style from an authorized image, a short clip, or a written description, save it under My Styles, and reuse it on the welcome and the privacy video. Custom Style is on Business and higher. API use also needs API access. The style is inspiration for a recognizable library. It is not pixel-exact branding or a guarantee of exact typography.
• The real telehealth entry point. Own Media, on Business and higher, inserts your images into the explainer. Add a still of the actual login or waiting-room screen, with no client session and no names. The telehealth example on this page is a document draft of the checklist. To show the screen clients actually open, add that still on the same brief. A generated laptop is a diagram of the steps, not a picture of your platform.
• A person welcoming the client. With permission, a clinician can record the welcome. Own Narration builds new visuals from that recording. Picture-in-Picture keeps the clinician visible. Audio-only does not create a face. The recording sets the duration and the spoken language. A language setting does not translate it. Both are on Business and higher. A stock or custom AI Presenter, on Creator and higher, can host the same explanation beside the animation. Identify the presenter as a host for logistics. A synthetic presenter is not a recording of your clinician.

Canvas Compact groups components in a scene. Expanded spreads them across more scenes. The intake example uses Compact so the visit flow stays together. See Compact and Expanded.

Workflow: one welcome, one privacy video, one correction

Run this on the blank packet you already send before the next intake cohort. The videos on this page are the document drafts. The practice-specific voice, the telehealth still, and a marked-up exception check are the steps you add.

1. Source. Use the current blank intake packet, with no client identifiers, and the current consent guide for the privacy video. One approved revision of each. Leave anything your privacy process does not allow in a production tool out of the file.
2. Settings. Prompt Mode for the logistics welcome. Script Mode for any exception that must be spoken as approved. Voice Instructions for a calm pace. Custom Style if the plan includes it. Own Media for the real telehealth entry screen. Optional: an authorized clinician recording with Picture-in-Picture, or a clearly identified AI Presenter. Turn on on-screen text from the script when labels must stay inside the approved words. In the API, custom_script supplies narration. enable_script_only_mode is script-generation-only, not a request to render an exact script. Set onscreen_text_from_script_only explicitly when you use that label control through the API.
3. Script review. Use Edit script before creating video. Read every exception, contact, and time against the open form. The reviewer, the date, and the form revision belong in the practice's record.
4. Result. Render and watch the video beside the packet. The four videos on this page are finished document drafts of this kind, at 2:02, 2:13, 1:58, and 1:56.
5. One correction. Here is the hypothetical correction. The spoken exception matches the form, and an on-screen label widens it. Frame editing, on all paid plans, can change that label. The first edited version is free across sessions until finalized. Later versions are charged for the selected duration of that version. Frame editing does not change the narration or the audio. If the spoken line is wider than the form, change the script and render again.
6. One reuse. Build the privacy-process video from the consent guide as its own asset. Example 2 is that job, drafted from its own document. The next reuse after that is a separate language variant, reviewed again so the exceptions still match the form in that language. A language setting does not translate a clinician's recording.

Plan, duration, and credits

A standard video uses 1 credit per selected minute. The four examples run 2:02, 2:13, 1:58, and 1:56. This page does not list the selected-minute setting for those renders, so it does not state a credit total for them. A two-minute selection is 2 credits at the standard rate.

• Prompt Mode, Script Mode, and script review are part of the core workflow. Length limits vary by plan. You can download Golpo's free 1-minute video without a watermark for $9.99, or subscribe to download it at no extra charge.
• Voice Instructions, multilingual variants, and AI Presenter: Creator and higher. Starter has a language add-on. More than 45 languages are listed. Each language is its own reviewed render.
• Custom Style, Own Media, Own Narration and Picture-in-Picture: Business and higher. Frame editing: all paid plans.

Current prices and duration limits are on video.golpoai.com/pricing.

What stays outside Golpo

Consent approval, the clinical record, scheduling, crisis routing, and the decision to send a video to a client are the practice's systems. The Golpo API can request a render from an approved blank packet and report status once the template and the review gate are stable. Scale includes API access. Business has a paid API add-on. API Only is a separate product with its own metering, and it does not include dashboard generation. An API call does not approve consent language or document a privacy review. Presenter welcomes are a dashboard choice. Presenter generation through the API is still described as coming soon.

One review checklist

• Confirm the video matches the form revision you named. Restore any exception, contact, or time that the draft dropped or widened. A line in the visual direction that tells Golpo to copy figures is a prompt instruction. You still compare the video with the source.
• Read the frames as well as the narration. A correct sentence over a broader label is still a defect.
• Keep diagnosis, treatment advice, score interpretation, and crisis counseling out of the video. Route urgent situations to the path the document names.
• If a clinician or a presenter appears, the piece is an orientation to logistics. It is not a clinical encounter.
• Keep client information out of the source file, the prompt, the thumbnail, and the file name. Public examples stay on specimen packets.
• Captions, transcript, contrast, and player controls belong to the player you ship. Sketch text on screen is not that caption track.
• Privacy, legal, accessibility, and clinical owners each review the boundary they own. If the video and the document disagree, send the document.

Frequently asked questions

Is this an AI therapist?

No. These videos explain first-visit logistics, confidentiality, telehealth setup, and check-in questionnaires. Assessment, treatment, judgment, and crisis response stay with qualified people. A recorded clinician or an AI Presenter can host that orientation. The host is not providing care, and the video is not a session.

Can a confidentiality video replace the consent form?

No. The signed form and applicable law control. The video helps a new client find the confidentiality rule, the listed exceptions, and the acknowledgment.

How does Golpo draft the welcome from our intake packet?

Upload the approved blank packet in Prompt Mode. Golpo drafts the narration from that document. Use Edit script before creating video and read the draft against the packet before you render. Uploading the packet does not by itself make the video a faithful copy of the packet.

When should we use Script Mode for consent wording?

Use Script Mode when an approved sentence has to be spoken as written, including a listed confidentiality exception. Prompt Mode remains a professional way to draft the logistics welcome. Put drawing directions in Video Instructions, not in the spoken words. About 1,050 characters correspond to one selected minute.

Can a clinician appear in the welcome?

Yes, with their permission. Own Narration uses the recording to drive new visuals, and Picture-in-Picture keeps the clinician visible. A stock or custom AI Presenter can host the same explanation and should be identifiable as a presenter. Voice Instructions shape a generated voice. They do not clone a person, and they do not change a finished recording.

Can the questionnaire video interpret a score?

That is outside this workflow. The video can explain when a questionnaire is used and that a clinician reviews change over time. It does not diagnose a score.

Create the first-visit video before the next intake cohort

Take the blank intake packet you already send to new clients. Generate the welcome in Golpo, approve the script against that packet, and add a still of your real telehealth entry screen if clients will use it. Then make the privacy video from the consent guide, and read the listed exceptions against the form before anyone on the next cohort sees it.

Create the first-visit video in Golpo. Confirm Voice Instructions, Custom Style, Own Media, and AI Presenter against your plan on pricing.
