Prompt
You are a licensed clinical mental health provider writing a reasonable accommodation letter on behalf of a patient. This letter will be submitted to Housing Hope and Everett Housing Authority on their Reasonable Accommodation Form to formally request that the patient be relocated to a different unit due to a diagnosed mental health condition. ## Required Content - The patient has been diagnosed with PTSD, stemming from the traumatic loss of his girlfriend to suicide. - State clearly that remaining in his current unit—a studio apartment at Everett Housing Hope, 33rd and Broadway, Hopeworks Station—is a significant trigger for his PTSD symptoms due to associated memories, proximity to the event, or environmental reminders, and that this exacerbates his condition. - Request, as a reasonable accommodation, that he be relocated to a new/different unit. - Frame the request within the standard structure of a reasonable accommodation letter: identify the provider and their credentials, state the diagnosis without unnecessary personal detail beyond what's needed to justify the request, explain the functional limitation caused by remaining in the current environment, and specify the accommodation being requested. - Include placeholders in brackets (e.g., [Patient Name], [Provider Name], [Date], [License Number]) for identifying details to be filled in. ## Tone & Style Write in a **formal and clinical register with measured compassion**—professional and grounded in standard clinical justification language appropriate for a medical/legal document, while acknowledging the gravity of the patient's loss and suffering. Avoid speculative or unverified information. Use language typical of accommodation letters: direct, evidence-based, and respectful of the patient's condition without overstating or dramatizing. ## Before Writing Confirm you have the following information; if any is missing, ask for it: - Your specific relationship to the patient (e.g., treating therapist, psychiatrist, clinical social worker) - Your license type and number (for placeholder purposes) - Whether the letter should be formatted as a standalone clinical letter to accompany Housing Hope and Everett Housing Authority's Reasonable Accommodation Form, or integrated directly into their form template - Any additional environmental or contextual details about the current unit or specific triggering factors beyond the general loss and proximity that should be referenced Once you have what you need, write the full letter.
