The sad truth is, when it comes to professional ethics and risk management, it’s no longer enough to do the best you can, have integrity and work hard. In this fast-paced workshop, armed with a library of handouts, we’ll review rules and regulations, spotlight commonly accepted practices that actually increase risk, build an individualized action plan, and learn to identify the seemingly innocent moments when ethical practice may hang in the balance.
We’ll start by specifying broadly useful principles and obligations that apply to us all – whether mental health counselor, social worker or family therapist; in agency, institution or private practice; providing direct service or supervision. We’ll look at certain high risk populations, and how to moderate that risk to protect the best interests of clinician, client and agency.
In addition, we’ll devote time to a special module addressing what it takes to deal effectively with lawyers, courts and the law -- including subpoenas in light of new law just now coming into effect, expert testimony, responding to attorneys, confidentiality vs. privilege, and medical records vs. notes. These upcoming changes in State law call for revisions in our release and disclosure forms – we’ll review suggested new text for use in most practice settings, and sort out how to provide informed consent to clients even while we ourselves wait for the legal ‘bugs’ to get worked out.
Participants will come away with a refreshed understanding of current rules, professional roles and ethical theory -- as well having a set of highly practical tools to enhance their ability to meet the complex demands of ethics and law.
