This article is for you if you are the person being tracked in BEHCA — you're logging your own behaviors, health, environment, or daily notes. We call this self-reporting.
You're usually here because a family member, a clinician, or a support coordinator invited you. They set up the profile; you do the day-to-day tracking.
How self-reporting is different
Self-reporters use BEHCA a little differently from staff or guests. The main differences:
-
You see only your own profile. No team list, no other people's data.
-
You don't sign Required Documents (Client Plan of Care). Those documents are for the people who care for you to sign — they don't apply to you signing your own plan.
-
The app is centered on tracking yourself. Most of what you do is logging daily entries about your own day.
Step 1 — Accept your invitation
The person who invited you sent you an email. Follow I was invited — how to accept to set your password and sign in.
Step 2 — Make your first daily entry
The most important thing to learn is the Track tab — that's where day-to-day logging happens.

You can edit or delete entries you logged yourself.
Step 3 — Update your profile if anything changes
Your profile is where your name, photo, location, and timezone live. If you move, update your location — BEHCA uses it to set the timezone and pull in local weather. You can find your profile under the Profile tab on mobile, or the Profiles menu on the web.
What other people in your circle of care can see
Whoever invited you can see what you log. Depending on the profile setup, that might be:
-
A family member who set up the account.
-
A clinician (psychiatrist, therapist, doctor) who was invited as a guest.
-
A school or program coordinator.
If you're not sure who has access to your data, ask the person who invited you. They can show you the team and guest list for your profile.
When to ask for help
Some things you can't change on your own — you'll need to ask the person who set up your account:
-
Adding new daily entry types (e.g. tracking a new behavior or symptom).
-
Adding or removing people who can see your data.
-
Changing your profile to a different organization.
-
Closing the account if you no longer want to use BEHCA.
For everyday questions about the app itself, our help articles or the chat support button on the website are the fastest way to get answers.
Common questions
-
Can other people see what I log? — Yes. The people invited to your profile can see your daily entries. That's the whole point — your circle of care can support you better when they know what's happening.
-
Can I have private entries? — Currently, no. If you'd like to keep something to yourself, don't log it in BEHCA.
-
Do I have to use the mobile app? — No. The website works just as well. Most self-reporters prefer the app because it's faster on a phone.
-
What if I forget to log something for a day? — You can backdate entries. When creating an entry, just change the date and time to when it actually happened.
