This workshop will provide foundational ethical & risk management information regarding our field of mental health. The purpose of this presentation is to empower psychologists, LPCs, MFTs, LPCCs, MFTCs and Play Therapists with tools for their professional roles. Not knowing this foundational information can bring professional ethical violations and failure to meet current standards of care, possibly resulting in grievances to licensing boards (DORA).

In this 3-hour live webinar, presenters Julie A. Jacobs, Psy.D., J.D. (Psychologist and Mental Health lawyer), Liliana Baylon, LMFT-S, RPT-S (MFT, Licensure Supervisor in CO & TX, Consultant/Supervisor in several therapy models, internship instructor) & Jennifer Shivey, MA, LPC, RPT-S (Licensure Supervisor, Registered Play Therapist Supervisor, agency owner, internship host, international speaker), will share current standards of care that all mental health professionals need to maintain.

Presenters will share the most common issues related to therapists engaging in our mental health profession, including risk management, ethics, couples/family therapy, working with minors, MUST forms, communication with clients, subpoenas, ROIs, communication with clients, social media and telehealth.
