Waivers/Releases for free/donation therapy sessions

Dear Sir or Madam:

I'd like to know which release forms and waivers or other documents I would need to present to a psychological therapy client in donation-type, free/volunteer therapy situations. I'd like to give back and keep it legal.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

J.M.
