About this Event
Join us on the beautiful campus at the University of San Diego for an engaging and interactive 6 hour course on legal and ethical issues in mental health. Licensed Mental Health Professionals can earn 6 continuing education credits to satisfy the Law & Ethics requirement for licensure renewal.
Course Description:
Ethical and legal obligations are frequently taught to therapists as a set of rigid rules that must be applied unequivocally. However, the realities of clinical practice are that we are often faced with situations that do not allow for a clear identification and application of relevant laws and ethical guidelines. Broadening our knowledge of law and ethics through a deeper understanding of the standard of care in the clinical practice of psychotherapy can help us feel less anxious and make more informed legal, ethical and clinical decisions. This course will address relevant ethical and legal considerations and the practical application of the following principles: risk management, mandated reporting, limits of confidentiality, informed consent, key issues in treating children and adolescents, record keeping guidelines, telehealth practice, HIPAA guidelines, marketing, responding to requests for records and subpoenas, and establishing a professional will.
Learning Objectives
1. Describe the law and ethical principles related to limits of confidentiality including mandated reporting and responding to danger to others
2. Apply legal and ethical responsibilities around informed consent in clinical practice
3. Identify suicide risk assessment methods and empirically supported suicide prevention interventions
4. Practice implementing professional will procedures and practice
5. Summarize the current legal and ethical status of child abuse reporting mandates
6. List requirements for the ethical and legal practice of telehealth mental health services
